Camerata Strings presents "Musical Colours"
2020-11-08 15:00 (Pacific/Auckland) | Christchurch Art Gallery, Montreal Street, Christchurch, 8013
Musical Colours. Camerata Strings, conductors Patrick Shepherd and Chris Reddington
Sunday 8 November at 3.00pm, Christchurch City Art Gallery. Free admission.
Musical Colours explores the connections between what we hear and what we see and what better place to do this in than an art gallery? The atrium of the Christchurch City Art Gallery is not only a great space for musical performance but also provides another layer for the concert, that of situating the sonic within the visual. To this end, there are three world premieres in this concert, all using as their starting point paintings in the current collection at the Gallery. Barbara Maguire’s The Quiet Sea was inspired by Margaret Stoddart’s restful Diamond Harbour while Patrick Shepherd’s Not of this time uses John Pule’s Not of This Time (Dreamland) as both a conceptual and conceptual framework. Max Gimblett’s three sumi ink paintings provides the starting point for Chris Reddington’s Enso Triptych.
Also featured in the programme are Sibelius’ celebratory Andante Festivo, Panufnik’s atmospheric Landscape and Holst’s Brook Green Suite.

The Arts Centre, Te Matatiki Toi Ara presents "Anthonie Tonnon - Rail Land"
2020-11-08 19:30 - 21:30 | Backstage Social Club, 15/28 Worcester Boulevard, Christchurch, Canterbury, 8013, New Zealand
The Arts Centre, Te Matatiki Toi Ara presents “Anthonie Tonnon – Rail Land” on Sunday 8th November 2020, 7.30 p.m. (doors open at 6.30 p.m.) to 9.30 p.m. at Backstage Social Club, 15/28 Worcester Street Boulevard, Christchurch Central, Christchurch 8013
Pricing: $25.00
A journey of the mind, through song and story, about New Zealand’s on-and-off again love affair with passenger rail. Equal parts tragedy, comedy, and personal memoir, Rail Land is a theatrical show that weaves the critically acclaimed songs of Anthonie Tonnon with synthesizer soundscapes, and soliloquy like story-telling.
Along with touches like historical letters to the editor, and meticulous notes on taking Aotearoa’s surviving public railways, Rail Land is a story of human enterprise, sabotage, obsession and hope. The show also features an exhibition of historic NZ Rail Advertising Department posters and schematic maps, blown up to large scale.
This performance is the last in the season brought to you in association with Arts on Tour New Zealand.

Resonance Ensemble presents "Heroes and Anti-Heroes"
2020-11-29 15:00 | The Piano, 156 Armagh Street, Christchurch, 8140, New Zealand
Heroes and Anti-Heroes.
A spectacular programme of orchestral works featuring outstanding local soloistsWe are pleased to announce that Resonance Ensemble, conducted by Tony Ryan, is currently preparing another exciting programme of works from less often encountered corners of the repertoire.Beethoven’s Egmont Overture is one of his best-known orchestral works, but few will know the other moving and dramatic music that the composer wrote for Goethe’s play.
Composed towards the end of Beethoven’s extraordinarily productive middle period, the Incidental Music to Egmont is among his finest creations. Resonance Ensemble’s performance of the complete Egmont music will include soprano Helen Charlton in its two vocal movements, and Christchurch actor and singer Ben Freeth who will provide a linking narration to bring the dramatic context to life.
Two short vocal pieces by this concert’s conductor Tony Ryan will again feature the singing talents of Helen Charlton and Ben Freeth. Helen performs Ryan’s orchestral song Don Quixote, and she will be joined by Ben for It’s Christmas Here As Well which was premiered at last year’s Christchurch Symphony Orchestra Christmas Concert.Khachaturian’s colourful and spectacular Violin Concerto may not often appear in concert programmes, but this wonderfully appealing and dramatic work, full of the composer’s familiar melodic and rhythmic genius is the major work in this programme. Featuring talented nineteen-year-old Christchurch violinist, Thomas Bedggood, this will be a performance not to be missed.
The orchestra will end with two further works by Khachaturian, his very popular Adagio from Spartacus and the swirling Waltz from Masquerade.
