Jenire Dance - Avenoir

SUNDAY AUGUST 10, 6:30PM

Avenoir, a unique and innovative 50 minute Dance Performance choreographed by Jenire, delves into the idea of what life would be like experienced backwards.

Knowing all your memories, the good and the bad before they happen. Seeing those past rejoin your life again. Going back to the joyful and innocent days of childhood.

Though does going backwards mean you are slowly losing these memories, is this seen as a peaceful or empty ending. Is the unknown of one's life journey really a curse or is it a blessing.

Disenchanted! The Musical

THURSDAY 11 SEPTEMBER, 7:30PM
FRIDAY 12 SEPTEMBER, 7:30PM
SATURDAY 13 SEPTEMBER, 2:00PM
SATURDAY 13 SEPTEMBER, 7:30PM

Not to be confused with the Disney movie, Disenchanted! is a bold, satirical musical that flips the fairy tale script on its head.

Created by Dennis T. Giacino, this Off-Broadway hit features iconic princesses Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, The little Mermaid, Hua Mulan and The Princess who Kissed the Frog who are fed up with their sanitized, pop-culture portrayals.

In a series of irreverent, laugh-out-loud numbers, these royal renegades take the stage to reclaim their narratives, challenging the traditional "happily ever after" and exposing the absurdities of their classic stories

Chamber Music NZ - Four Last Songs

SUNDAY 12 OCTOBER, 4:00PM

Composed in the year before his passing, the Four Last Songs are held by many to be Richard Strauss’ most beautiful, sensuous, and moving composition. They are songs of farewell and of gentle heartbreak. The words of the final song, Im Abendrot, speak of an elderly couple walking hand in hand, at rest from their wanderings, away from life. The final verse:
O weiter, stiller Friede! O vast and silent peace!
So tief im Abendrot So deep in sunset glow,
Wie sind wir wandermüde- How weary we are with wandering-
Ist dies etwa der Tod? Could this perhaps be death?

For this special premier performance, Salina Fisher has arranged the Four Last Songs for NZTrio and celebrated Australian soprano Emma Pearson.

Enjoy an amazing evening with legendary blues artist Darren Watson. Darren is a seasoned singer-songwriter and blues musician with over three decades of experience in the music industry.

His music is characterized by thoughtful lyrics, skilled guitar work, and a voice that carries both grit and soul.

Darren first gained recognition in the 1980s as the leader and frontman of the New Zealand band Chicago Smoke Shop. Since then, he has pursued a successful solo career, releasing a series of well-received albums. His 2020 album, Getting Sober for the End of the World, was widely praised for its sharp social commentary and musical craftsmanship, earning airplay and accolades both locally and internationally. It saw Darren nominated as a finalist for the 2021 Aotearoa Music Award for Best Folk Artist.

Watson's new album 'Darren Watson Sings John Hiatt' is due for release in November 2025.
