Ivy Blue - The Shadows of Atlas Dawn Tour SATURDAY 26 JUNE, 7:30PM Alternative Rock artist Ivy Blue will be visiting Palmerston North for the first time ever on The Shadows Of Atlas Dawn Tour this June. Playing on June 26th and 27th at The Globe Theatre, this marks Ivy Blue's first ever performances in The Rose City and promises to be an entertaining evening for all in attendance. Performed in intimate theatres around New Zealand, Ivy Blue, whose new acoustic album The Shadows Of Atlas Dawn, was released on January 28th 2021, will be returning to the road after a nearly 2 year absence to perform a series of stories and songs evenings on The Shadows Of Atlas Dawn tour. Ivy Blue (real name James Brodie) will be performing stripped down versions of his music across four studio albums (Chasing Avenues, Longview, Echoes and Silence, and The Shadows Of Atlas Dawn) while sharing stories about his life growing up with Autism and ADHD and the lessons he’s learned along the way. Promising to be an intimate evening with hints of humor and motivation, this promises to be one of the most unique music events of the year. James Brodie says: “I cannot wait to get back out on tour. When The Shadows Of Atlas Dawn Tour starts in June it will be 21 months since my last full-length show in Napier and nearly 10 months since I last played a shorter acoustic show in Wellington, so I am raring to go. I thrive on touring and getting out to fans, so it will be a great feeling to get back on stage with these small solo and stripped shows and get back on stage for you guys. I haven’t played a full-length show in New Zealand for a few years so it will be a pleasure to play at home again. Of course I haven't decided on the set list as yet and won’t do until I start rehearsing but I’m really look forward to playing a number of songs from The Shadows Of Atlas Dawn live, especially as they fit the stories from my life that I will be sharing on the night so well; and with these stripped down shows I can’t wait to bring these stories and songs to life. However, as it’s been a while since I’ve seen you all, I’m sure the show include plenty of older fan favorites too (including a few songs from Echoes and Silence seeing as I never got to perform this album live due to the lockdown last year). I think the fans will be delighted by the show I have in mind and you can rest assured that I am working hard to bring you something spectacular with a lot of heart. You certainly deserve it for your patience”. ENTRY: Tickets available HERE or from the Globe Theatre Box Office |

Chamber Music New Zealand presents Another Night In Vienna SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 11, 7:30PM “Welcome to Vienna! My name is Wolfgang, and I’ll be your tour guide this evening… Here, as we near the end of the nineteenth century, Vienna is the very heart of the famous Habsburg Empire. Caffeine addicts, worry not, this is a café society. Art lovers – this is a cultural centre. We’ll experience it all. Follow me! However, please do not stray from the tour path. Or you may find yourself confronted with the erotic ‘pornography’ of artists Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele. Or telling your secrets to neurologist Sigmund Freud. Or lost down some dark alley listening to the radical new musical ideas of composers Arnold Schoenberg, Berg, or Webern. And if you really venture into the shadows, you might find lurking there a failed art student who will change the course of the twentieth century. Consider yourself warned! But enough doom and gloom. I’m pleased to see you all dressed up as it’s very likely you’ll be dancing to waltzes by Strauss at some sumptuous ball before the night is through. Just another night here in Vienna! Donald Armstrong, associate concertmaster for the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, leads members of the Amici Ensemble and 2020 NZCT Chamber Music Contest winners Ravelation for ANOTHER NIGHT IN VIENNA – blending letters, ephemera and chamber music into a dramatic journey through one of the world’s most important cities during one of its most fascinating periods.
