Free Concert with Jonathan Lemalu
Porirua's own Virtuoso Strings Orchestra is playing two free concerts with their Patron, Jonathan Lemalu. He is a NZ-born Samoan, and is one of the best singers that NZ has ever produced. Jonathan is joined by two young local singers: LJ Crichton and Katherine Winitana. All the music has been composed and arranged by Craig Utting to enable all the Virtuoso Strings students to join in. Will be an exciting concert!
Saturday 12th November at Aotea College's new theatre, and Sunday 13th November at St.Andrews on the Terrace in Wellington.

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!
