This year’s Lilburn Lecture sees acclaimed composer Eve de Castro-Robinson asking how much progress women composers in New Zealand have made since the granting of equal voting rights 125 years ago.
Reflecting on changes in New Zealand’s musical and socio-political culture, de Castro-Robinson considers her own journey as a female composer from the mid-1980s onward.
About the speaker
Eve de Castro-Robinson is one of New Zealand’s foremost composers, whose works have been widely performed. She has made many contributions to New Zealand music, including as a trustee of SOUNZ and is currently Associate Professor in Composition at the University of Auckland.
The annual Lilburn Lectures are a collaboration between the Lilburn Trust and the Alexander Turnbull Library.

New Zealand is the whale stranding capital of the world. Each year, hundreds of whales and dolphins strand on our shores.

Each year, hundreds of whales and dolphins strand on our shores. Whilst some are sick or injured, others are healthy and just need a helping hand back out to sea. But saving whales isn't as easy as it looks and successful rescue often depends on properly trained volunteers. That's where you come in.
Project Jonah are running two Marine Mammal Medic training courses in Wellington next weekend. Saturday 3rd and Sunday 4th November.
Learn the skills needed to look after whales and dolphins when they strand and make a real difference. Wellington is a key region to support the mass strandings that happen on an almost annual basis at Farewell Spit. Once trained you'll be added to our national callout list. That means that when a stranding occurs your lifesaving skills can be called upon.

Join historian Gerard Morris as he takes us through the history of the adoption of New Zealand Standard Time, and Chief Executive of the National Measurement Institute of Australia, Dr Bruce Warrington, who will detail the science behind standard time and the technological innovations such as GPS it enables.
1886 first Cook Strait cable was the beginning
In 1866, the first cable across Cook Strait was laid and regions between Napier and Bluff became connected by telegraph. Variations in operating hours at the relaying and receiving offices along the line initially hinder the smooth transmission of messages.
So, in 1868 the Telegraph Department proclaimed that all offices had to adopt Wellington time.
This move lead to a parliamentary decree establishing a single time for the whole country — the first implementation of standard time in the world, which came into effect on November 2, 1868.
