Choral Group, Lunchtime Concert, Wednesday July 30
At the Methodist Centre, 12.15, next Wednesday 30th.
Janey MacKenzie's choral group will be performing. The singers in this concert are Renata Toth, Caroline Den-McKay, Kati Lemcke and Sara Binnie. They are all experienced choristers and are also enjoying exploring solo repertoire. Janey MacKenzie is the accompanist.
This programme is an attractive mix of traditional folksongs, English art song, French “ chansons” and a little dash of opera!

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.
