Heading along to tonight's Sparks event? Help the planet while you're at it – Christchurch is trialling compostable packaging for the food and drink available at Sparks this year – which means a lot less waste for the landfill.

If it's brown - it will break down.
Look for the ECO symbol and put it in the green bin.
All other packaging goes into the red bin.

The ECO symbol means "Event Compostable Only" – make sure you bin it at the event, and not at home.

As mentioned in the givealittle we have had a $17,000 vet bill for January and am asking if anyone can donate a little monies to the cause.  Every $5 + you donate to givealittle (they will provide a receipt) where you can claim back 30% in your year end tax calculation.  Small donations by a lot of people all add up to a lot.  This is the silly kitten session and hence costs are always high at this time.


We are busy collecting free fruit and jars and making jams/chutney's and fresh tomato and plum sauce to sell at our stalls and making crafts (custions and cat beds etc) with donated goods.  So we are trying to fundraise anyway we can with lots of volunteer support.


We will have a stall at the Sumner Market this Sunday the 12th and the Halswell Market on the 26th so would love to see you. 


I have attached two recent articles about what we do and how we help stray cats and the resulting kittens that come from unsprayed animals.


Any questions please go to our website or pm me and ask.
Thanks for reading

Two distinguished international concert pianists will perform and teach in Christchurch at the end of this month.

The visit of Santiago-based Edith Fischer, protege of Claudio Arrau – renowned as one of the supreme keyboard masters of the century – and her husband Jorge Pepi-Alos, is being hailed as a "very important event", especially for the musical and cultural life of the city.

Fischer has played under the direction of some of the greatest conductors of these times, notably with Erich Kleiber, Paul Ketzski, Sir John Barbirolli among other distinguished directors.

She has also performed at festivals such as Salzburg, Gstaad, Montreal, Stresa, Paris and Flanders.

Pepi-Alos, composer and professor at the University of Chile, studied piano with Fischer and attended the Menuhin Academy in Gdstaad (chamber music). He went on to co-found the Bionay chamber music festival with Fischer. Pepi-Alos went on to win a series of illustrious international prizes.

The couple were invited to Christchurch by dazzling young pianist and composer Tony Chen Lin, who has been regularly invited to perform as young guest artist at the 'Semaine Internationale de Piano et de musique de chambre' in Bionay, Switzerland by festival founder and mentor Edith Fischer.

"This will be a rare opportunity to witness two world-class musicians in performance and working with young New Zealand talent," Lin said.

The couple will give piano master classes in the chamber at The Piano: Centre for Music and Arts on Sunday February 26. 1pm- 6pm. Admission is free.

On Monday, February 27, Fischer and Pepi-Alos will perform in The Piano's concert hall at 7.30pm, the works of Schumann, Brahms, Ravel, VillaLobos, Jenny McLeod, and Pepi-Alos. Adults $30, students $10.
