Pianist Nikolai Saratovsky plays in Mulled Wine Concerts

He has already won a number of major international piano competitions and has an extraordinary repertoire, ranging from Bach to the latest contemporary composers. As well as performing on the concert circuit in Europe and Asia, he is a noted academic occupying a senior position in one of the largest music schools in Asia, in Taiwan.

Mulled Wine Concerts, will present a piano recital by Nikolai Saratovsky
at 2:30PM on SUNDAY 25 June 2023 at the Memorial Hall in Paekakariki and in Anzac Hall in Featherston on FRIDAY JUNE 23 at7.30pm.

Organiser Mary Gow, a concert pianist herself, tells the story of how she met Saratovsky at his recital in Brussels and mentioned that she came from New Zealand. "His eyes lit up and told me that he and his Japanese-born wife had always dreamed of visiting New Zealand! From there, it was a short step to discussing possibilities - I arranged a concert tour for him in 2018 and he had such a good reception, he wanted to return – this he did in 2019 and NZ audiences raved". And then, of course came Covid, the shut-down of international travel and the cancellation of concerts everywhere. So it is only now in 2023 that we will have the opportunity of hearing him once more.


Saratovsky studied at the Moscow State Conservatory graduating with the Award for Academic Excellence and a Master's degree, and has gone on to win numerous awards for his musical accomplishments. He regularly gives master classes in Japan, Russia,The USA, Canada, Luxembourg and Taiwan. Since his last visit to New Zealand he has done concert tours in England, Korea, Japan and Africa.

Mary Gow feels that his visit to New Zealand represents a wonderful opportunity for Kapiti and Wairarapa audiences to catch a star during his brief visit to New Zealand. "The Mulled Wine Concert Series always tries to bring audiences the sort of artists that discerning audiences will appreciate and we are very lucky that this year he has again managed to fit us into his schedule. To see a pianist of this quality and fire is an opportunity not to be missed".

Nikolai Saratovsky will present a recital of works including Schubert Impromptus, “Spanish Rhapsody” by Liszt, and works by Scarlatti, Chopin, Tchaikowsky and Shostakovich and others.

==============================

Mulled Wine Concerts presents a piano recital by Nikolai Saratovsky at 2:30 PM on Sunday 25 June, 2023 at the Memorial Hall in Paekakariki.

The outer walls of Te Rauparaha Arena will be lit up with a beautifully animated display in July as part of Porirua’s Matariki celebrations.

With the help of her kuia Patricia Grace, local artist Miriama Grace-Smith has created a stunning display which will be visible in the evenings between 12 and 16 July.

The display tells the nostalgic story of simple Matariki rituals through the eyes of our tamariki. It is set in and around Plimmerton’s Hongoeka Marae, celebrating the rising of Matariki in the dawn sky.

With voices recorded by local children, this work of art is a unique community creation made right here in Porirua. The display will play in a loop each night between 6 and 9pm.

Keep an eye on Porirua City’s dedicated webpage for more information about what’s happening as there are also things happening at Pātaka and our libraries: poriruacity.govt.nz/matariki

"A magical afternoon spent at Silverstream today! A good variety of birds to be seen too! As we got out of the car in the driving range, a kotāre was sitting on the power line to welcome us!
It was funny that Clive and I were just talking about me having seen a magpie taking a bath in the water when I last visited, then a few minutes later after watching 3 kereru and 2 magpies who had been fighting each other earlier on, all sitting in the same tree together, suddenly one of the magpie decided to hop into the water and take a bath much to our delight! There was also a chaffinch taking a bath further up the stream."
