Free Family Concert

Ann from Warkworth

Leys Orchestra

Family Concert

Sunday 13th June 3:00pm

Warkworth Town Hall
2 Alnwick Street, Warkworth
free admission

Leys Orchestra returns to Warkworth with a programme headlined with the beautiful Concertante for Clarinet, Bassoon, Horn and Orchestra second movement by Bernhard Henrik Crusell.

We are proud to perform Pohutukawa, a new work by well-known NZ composer David Hamilton (a former conductor of the orchestra), which we premiered at last year's Auckland Heritage Festival. This evocative work was written specially for and dedicated to Leys Orchestra. The concert also features the languid second movement from Mozart's Clarinet Concerto in A.

• 'Idyll' and 'Danse Villageoise' from Suite Pastoral by Emmanuel Chabrier

• 'Ricercar' by Andrea Gabrieli

• ‘Fanfare’ by Claudio Monteverdi

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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.
