Free Concerts
Jonathan Lemalu is singing with Virtuoso Strings on November 12th and 13th. Jonathan is one of the best singers that NZ has ever produced – he is a Grammy Award winner, a Professor at the Guildhall in London, and has sung in opera houses and concert halls all over the world.
Virtuoso Strings is an orchestra of string players from Porirua and surrounding areas. Tenor LJ Crichton and soprano Katherine Winitana are also singing.
I have written several new songs for this concert – it will be an exciting evening! See you at Aotea College on the 12th or St.Andrews on the Terrace on the 13th! Free entry, koha appreciated. Suitable for ALL ages!
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)
