Mulled Wine Concert in Paekakariki SUNDAY JUNE 7 at 2.30pm
Kapiti concertgoers have been eagerly awaiting the return of concerts and events and
musicians of all stripes have been longing to play for audiences again. Mulled Wine Concerts in Paekakariki will bring together some stellar names from the world of classical music in New Zealand for a concert at the famous Paekakariki Memorial Hall on Sunday June 7 at 2:30 PM. The remaining restrictions will limit the paying audience to 80 people, so everyone is advised to get their tickets as soon as possible.
The programme features Jian Liu, Director of Classical Performance and Head of Piano at the New Zealand School of Music. Together with longtime friend Mary Gow, organiser of the Mulled Wine Concerts and also of major events in Brussels, Belgium, the duo have brought together Monique Lapins, violinist in the NZ String Quartet, Gabriela Glapska, a pianist from Poland who has recently completed her PhD in piano performance the NZSM and Ken Ichinose, Associate Principal Cello of the NZ Symphony Orchestra.
Concertgoers will be treated to an afternoon of fine music in a beautiful seaside setting.
Jian Liu starts the programme with pieces by Douglas Lilburn and Zianzhong Wang before being joined by Mary Gow to present Beethoven's Sonata for Four Hands, Op.6. The friends - Gabriela, Monique and Ken perform Haydn's "Piano Trio in A major", Schumann's
"Three Romances for Violin and Piano" and Janáček's "Podádhka for Cello and Piano".The performance ends with the magnificent "Trio élégiaque No. 1 in G minor" by Rachmaninoff.
The shutdown has been problematic for musicians and concertgoers alike. But it has had a lucky side-effect of keeping several of these high-level musicians, who would normally be travelling the world, at home in New Zealand and available for this concert. Local concertgoers are lucky indeed!

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?

New World Khandallah parking warning and appeal to nearby business owners
For very valid reasons (local commuters abuse) the New World has allowed the draconian Smartcomply company to police their carpark on their behalf.
Smartcomply will hit you with an $85 'fine' if you stay one second beyond the 60 minutes allowed.
Can I appeal to all nearby business's (especially eateries) to display a clearly visible "ARE YOU PARKED IN THE NEW WORD CARPARK' notice so customers can be warned about the possibility of an unpleasant post dining experience surprise.
A local eatery, and New World itself, could lose future custom due Smartcomply's excessive actions, as is likely our case.
Indeed I would urge any business local to a Smartcomply operation to implement a "ARE YOU PARKED IN ..........." notice if they wanted to avoid a lose in trade.
Here is the link to their Terms and Conditions that all entrants to a carpark under their control are expected to notice and read.
