Concert: More New Music


MORE NEW MUSIC

Mike Crowl will be presenting a second collection of his recent compositions - songs, piano pieces, and music for cornet and piano - at the Mornington Methodist Hall, in Dunedin, on Saturday the 12th September, at 7.30 pm.

Admission $10.00 per person - sorry, no eftpos available, but supper is included.

Several of the pieces will be receiving their world premieres, including a group of eight short songs set to words by the nationally renowned Dunedin poet, Peter Olds.

John Lewis, the champion New Zealand and Australian cornet player, will be performing two pieces specially written for him.

Other artists include: Nicola Steel, Helen & Justin Scott, Arnold Bachop, Cara Thomson, and Nadine Kemp.

Mike

Unfortunately I'm stranded (happily for the most part) in Purakanui so I will miss your concert. As an admirer of Peter Olds, I hope there will be more performances of the eight short songs.

Go well,
David

Thanks for your note, David. Things went well overall, and the songs set to Peter's poems went across very well. Peter seemed happy with the music too.
