Sunday 8 October 7pm: Spring Jazz - Mark Wilson
The son of the former Vicar of the Anglican Parish of Clevedon, All Souls church is very dear to Mark Wilson’s heart. Now resident in Queenstown, Mark is a renowned musician with a unique gift for music and an enormous laugh. Born blind, Mark embraces life and its opportunities with joy and gusto. He has a unique ability to absorb musical chords. Having completed a Bachelor of Music Performers in Piano, Mark thought he might end up as a concert pianist, but he loves too many musical genres. He describes his musical tastes as ‘eclectic’.
Mark will kick off our series with a concert of Jazz in the theme of Spring.
After the concert, the audience is invited to join Mark and his wife Emma for dessert, hosted by the parish of Clevedon.
Tickets cost $30 each, including GST. A small service charge will be added at the checkout.

Sunday 15 October 7pm: Unlimited Acappella
Unlimited Quartet are the 2023 quartet champions, securing the highest score ever achieved by a quartet in New Zealand. Consequently they will represent New Zealand at the Sweet Adelines International competition in Louisville, Kentucky later this year. Lead Jill Rodgers, and Kate Sinclair, the tenor, live in Hamilton. Jill is the director of the men’s Mighty River Harmony Chorus while Kate directs the women’s Waikato Rivertones Chorus. Helena Lister and Mehernaz Darukhanawalla both live in Auckland and round out the quartet sound with their rich lower voices. Helena and Mehernaz bring their expertise from many years singing with medal-winning choruses and quartets and other ensembles.
These four women say that the exciting thing about singing together is how well their voices match to form a harmonious unit that is truly greater than the sum of its parts. And best of all is how well they all get on together sharing many laughs as well as working hard together.
Tickets cost $30 each, including GST. A small service charge will be added at the checkout.

Sunday 29 October 7pm: Magnolia Trio
Comprised of members of the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra, the Magnolia Trio is New Zealand’s premiere woodwind trio. Bassoonist Ingrid Hagan is known for her personality packed virtuosity. On clarinet, Jonathan Cohen excels at wowing the audience. And oboist Camille Wells brings a sweet, nuanced approach. French composers adored this instrument combination, and Darius Milhaud’s Trio makes the most of the woodwind colours. Well known melodies by Beethoven and Mozart will have you humming along, while Alyssa Morris’s Nik Nak holds a surprise element which is bound to amuse and entertain.
Tickets cost $30 per person including GST. A small service fee will be charged at checkout.

Sunday 5 November 7pm: A Stroll through the Sun King's Garden at Versailles
This concert explores French music from the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Focussing on the gardens at Versailles, the programme leads us on a journey through the gardens. Using readings from garden manuals and memoirs of the time, with music about some of the garden themes at Versailles, the audience will be taken through the exquisite experience of the lavish environment which Louis XIV created at his Royal residence. Music will be by Marais, Forqueray, Charles Dollé , and other contemporary French composers. Polly Sussex will play the French bass viol, a Baroque instrument with 7 strings, a little like a cello, and the pardessus, the smallest of the French viols, very popular with French ladies in the 18th century. Martin Griffiths will play the Baroque cello, and Rachael Griffiths-Hughes will play the harpsichord, which was the principal domestic keyboard instrument of the time.
Tickets cost $30 per person including GST. A small service fee will be charged at checkout.
