German-born British composer Max Richter invites us on a journey through his reimagined landscape of Vivaldi’s pictorial masterpiece The Four Seasons.

The Four Seasons is something we all carry around with us,” says Richter, “It’s just everywhere. This project is about reclaiming this music for me personally, by getting inside it and rediscovering it – and taking a new path through a well-known landscape.”

Dancers from inclusive dance company Jolt join together with musicians of the Christchurch Symphony Orchestra to create an energetic and evocative performance.

Led by acclaimed violinist Martin Riseley, this event is a joyous and affirming celebration of movement, music, and life.

The fire started at Pegasus Beach on Wednesday 2 November and due to the high winds it swiftly headed south towards Christchurch.
The Woodend Holiday Park is currently in the direct path of the fire and therefore residents were evacuated. As of this morning, 200 hectares of land has now been damaged in the blaze.

I was spiraling out of control

I don't have many memories from my childhood, but the memories I do have relate to food - picnics with bacon and egg pie, my mother’s home cooking, Sunday bread. I was never much of a sweet tooth, but instead I preferred savouries, pastries, breads and the like. I grew up on a farm and food was plentiful and was never restricted and I lived a pretty healthy, active lifestyle.

Once I hit my teenage years, however, I remember starting to get worried about my weight. (I'll just mention here that I don't think I have ever been overweight and I certainly wasn't overweight as a teenager). I'm not sure how this all came about, but it was around the time I started getting interested in boys and my body was changing. I would stare at myself in the mirror and think I was fat.
