Adam's Swansong concert
The Taranaki Symphony Orchestra (TSO) presents its Masterworks concert this Saturday. This is the Music Director, Adam Jasinski's last concert after conducting TSO for 23 years and presenting 73 concerts for the Taranaki public.
This concert has a special treat: Beethoven's Violin Concerto with violinist Helene Pohl. Helene is American trained, but has performed in many countries and is also leader of the NZ String Quartet. This concerto is possibly the most popular of all violin concertos.
Tickets from Ticketek.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
