The Performers:
Bookends: The Music of Simon & Garfunkel
Mark Wilson is unable to participate in these concerts due to ill health. The content of the concert will remain unchanged, but John Chapman will be joined by his brother Simon in Mark’s stead. John and Simon Chapman spent their formative years as residents of the Presbyterian manse in Clevedon. Part of a very musical family, the Chapman brothers (along with their other siblings) have performed at various local functions over many years. Their concert will feature the music of two other old friends: Simon & Garfunkel.
Retallick & Lee: String Duo
Liu-Yi Retallick and Helen Lee have been working together on the Auckland Town Hall stage for the last 5 years as part of the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra. A dynamic duo both on stage and off, they've also joined forces to form the Bloom Quartet, a premier Auckland based string quartet.
City of Sails: Barbershop Chorus
This talented group of a-cappella singers have been honing their musical craft within City of Sails for over 40 years. Barbershop harmony is a distinctly American art form, characterised by closely-voiced consonant four-part chords. Two quartets from the City of Sails main Chorus will showcase this sound, together with some contemporary numbers.
Magnolia Trio: Woodwind
Comprised of members of the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra: Bassoonist Ingrid Hagan, clarinettist Jonathan Cohen and oboist Camille Wells, the Magnolia Trio is New Zealand's premiere woodwind trio. French composers will feature in this concert, along with Beethoven and Mozart, in addition to some surprise elements which are bound to amuse and entertain.
Once our new ticketing process is implemented an updated brochure will be posted here and to our Facebook page.
