MULLED WINE CONCERTS PRESENTS
INBAL MEGIDDO, MARY GOW, DAVID BARNARD AND PAUL ALTOMARI
Mulled Wine Concerts - the non-profit organisation dedicated to bringing the finest
classical music artistes to the Kapiti region - is the brainchild of Mary Gow. The series has
been running for over 10 years and has at the last count notched up 62 concerts. Herself a
prizewinning New Zealand concert pianist, Mary Gow has been responsible for bringing
many fine performers to Paekakariki where she lives. But now, she is laying aside her
organisational clipboard and donning her concert clothes, as she will be performing with a
group of special friends at her concert on 26 May in Paekakariki's St Peter's Hall.
Mary studied music at Victoria University, Wellington following which she took up a Belgian
Government Scholarship to the Royal Brussels Conservatorium gaining First Prizes and
Higher Diplomas in both Piano and Chamber Music. In addition to presenting the Mulled
Wine Concerts, she has maintained her presence in Europe, playing and organising
concerts.
Cellist Inbal Megiddo will join Mary Gow to perform Schumann’ Five Pieces for cello and
piano preceded by Bach’s Suite for solo cello. Inbal Megiddo is a Senior Lecturer in
classical performance at the New Zealand School of Music. She brings to her
performances years of experience, the influence of master teachers, and praise from
influential musicians. They will be joined by pianist David Barnard, and bassist Paul
Altomari and together will present the Kapiti audience with a feast of beautiful music. After
initial studies in Australia, David Barnard forged his career in the UK and has recently been
appointed to the permanent staff of the New Zealand School of Music as Head
Accompanist & Vocal Coach. Paul Altomari has led the bass sections of several orchestras
in the United States and is now the section principal double bass of Orchestra Wellington.
He regularly appears with the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra and Auckland
Philharmonia and performs chamber music in North America, Asia and Australasia. Also on
the programme is Bach's Suite No 5 in C Minor for Solo Cello,Franck's Sonata for cello and piano,
Rossini Duo and Goltermann's Souvenirs de Bellini.
The concert will take place in the special ambience of St Peter's Hall at the heart of the
artistic nexus that is Paekakariki Village. The venue is easily reached by public transport
from either north or south. Kapiti concertgoers are in for a real treat!

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
Poll: Would you participate in local initiatives aimed at stopping plastic from reaching our oceans?

This initiative helps stop plastic from reaching our oceans and makes our waterways cleaner and safer for everyone.
We want to know: Should this be rolled out across all coastal cities in Aotearoa? And more importantly… would you get involved? 💚
