Final SUNDAY AFTERNOON CONCERT: The New Zealand Chamber Soloists
The New Zealand Chamber Soloists, Katherine Austin (piano), Lara Hall (violin), and James Tennant (Cello), with Dimitri Atanassov, will play gorgeous quartets full of creative genius and inspiration for our last concert from the brilliant compositions of Mozart and Schumann.
The Chamber Soloists are all professional musicians who have been performing together throughout New Zealand and overseas since 2006.
They are currently touring and performing this series with guest violinist Dimitri Atanassov, a familiar name to New Zealand audiences: the Bulgarian-born violinist is a former Auckland Philharmonia concertmaster and member of the Ogen Piano Trio.
Katherine, of course, we know well in Thames, as she has brought her very talented pupils from the University of Waikato Conservatorium of Music to perform for us in Thames for many years and earlier this year performed piano Duets with Maria Mo.
SUNDAY 13th NOVEMBER AT 2PM, ST GEORGES CHURCH, THAMES
Entry $20 or TMG Members $15. Cash only.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
