Dulcis Tibia Concert
15 November at Waikanae Presbyterian Church Hall, 3 pm - no tickets but donations are requested.
We have presented concerts in Waikanae for several years. If you haven't heard us you will most likely be surprised at how different our sound is from recorders that were taught in schools. Our instruments range from the very deep, mellow contrabass to descant. Our programme spans classical music from some of the earliest (medieval) that was written to two 20th century tangoes. It includes very beautiful Baroque music and a suite of arrangements of three eastern European folk melodies.

The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if it’s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.
We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?
