REMember R.E.M FRIDAY NOVEMBER 26, 7:30PM Some 40 years since American college band R.E.M. set out on their road to global stardom, and 10 years since they decided to call it a day, a group of five musos from Taranaki are playing their biggest hits to audiences across the North Island. For those of us who’ve forgotten, REMember R.E.M. are gearing up to jog our memories with a setlist full of their most popular songs. Think Losing My Religion, Everybody Hurts, Drive, Man On The Moon and Shiny Happy People. And for those of us with a few more years on the clock, cast your minds back to Stand, The One I Love and the ultra-frenetic It’s The End Of The World As We Know It. The New Plymouth-based tribute act are looking forward to bringing their show to The Globe in Palmerston North. “In the time we’ve been doing this we’ve found that R.E.M.’s back catalogue is widely known and lives strong with NZ music fans,” says REMember R.E.M. lead singer Nick Maybury. “They’re a band whose songs still resonate and take you back to memorable times in your life. And on top of that their musicianship and songwriting was absolutely top drawer. “It’s a huge thrill for us to be recreating these songs and we can’t wait to give Palmy locals a fantastic, and nostalgic, night out!” ENTRY: Tickets available HERE or from the Globe Theatre Box Office |

Chamber Music New Zealand presents Another Night In Vienna SUNDAY DECEMBER 12, 5:00PM This show was originally scheduled for Saturday September 11th. Tickets purchased for the September show are valid for the December show. “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.
