New Zealand’s premier national chamber choir Voices New Zealand perform a stunning musical and visual reminder about the beauty and importance of our oceans, essential to survival on our planet. This inspiring concert celebrates our oceans as taonga with uplifting and moving music from around the globe.

A newly commissioned work by New Zealand’s Warren Maxwell (composer of the glorious soundtrack to the Waka Odyssey in the 2018 NZ Festival) will capture his personal experiences of the Southern Ocean and Antarctica when spending time on the ice. Traversing the northern ocean currents, Finnish composer Jaakko Mäntyjärvi will create a new work about the Arctic Ocean.

A landscape of projected moving images will accompany the music. Created by multimedia artists Tim and Mic Gruchy whose visual designs have featured in works by the likes of Opera Australia, Sydney Theatre Company, New Zealand Festival and Australian Dance Theatre, this will be a spectacular audio visual celebration.

“… The oceans are under threat now as never before in human history. We can now destroy or we can cherish. The choice is ours.”– Sir David Attenborough

This performance is also audio-described for those who are blind, have low vision, or who are otherwise visually impaired. A touch tour will also take place prior to the concert. To learn more and to book tickets, call 0800 266 2378 or email outreach@chambermusic.co.nz.

When it comes to healthy eating and living, Taranaki isn’t behind in behind in the times, it’s a vibrant example of just what it means to be well.

That being said, rarely do we get the same caliber of health events that many of the larger cities in NZ and the world hold regularly.

That is, until Well Fed.

**********

On October 26, 2019, Well Fed is coming to the TSB Showplace. This health event is unlike any other that has come before it. Well Fed is bringing you the best minds in Health and Nutrition from New Zealand and Australia. Clinical nutritionists, doctors, authors, master chefs, self-made millionaires, political advocates and experts in their field.

Not only that but the healthiest and best tasting Taranaki and NZ-made foods will also be on show allowing people to sample, purchase and devour all those delicious little nutrients.

In 2017 we brought you the Total Health Explosion, with 1000 participants and many more who were waiting at the door to get into this sold out event. Well Fed promises another incredible experience.
