Voices in the Wind - Islands and Oceans Concert
You are cordially invited to attend the debut concerts of the exciting new choir in the Wellington, Voices in the Wind. This dynamic group of auditioned singers is prepared to bring you to uncharted choral territory with their initial performance, themed around Islands and Oceans. Directed by Eric Sidoti and accompanied by Jennifer Scarlet, this will be a wonderfully entertaining programme of delights from Campion and Billings through to Rossini and Simon and Garfunkle.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
