SUMMARY:Double Homecoming
DESCRIPTION:Join Bay of Plenty Symphonia on Sunday\, November 15\, 2026\, for a very special homecoming\, as Tauranga siblings Anna and Dominic Lee return to perform with the orchestra that played a part in their early musical journeys. \nAnna and Dominic have both gone on to build impressive musical careers since growing up in Tauranga and taking part in Bay of Plenty Symphonia’s Rising Stars Competition in 2013. Now\, they return to the orchestra as soloists in Brahms’ beautiful Double Concerto for Violin and Cello. \nIt’s a chance to hear two accomplished musicians who grew up here sharing the stage\, and to celebrate the journey that has taken them from Tauranga to audiences further afield. \nUnder the baton of the orchestra’s Music Director Michael Joel\, the concert opens with Vaughan Williams’ Serenade to Music in its orchestral version\, a warm and lyrical work full of colour and beauty. The programme concludes with Borodin’s Symphony No. 2\, a powerful and richly textured work that brings the full orchestra into its own. \nWhether you remember Anna and Dominic from their early days in Tauranga or are hearing them for the first time\, this is a concert with a strong local connection and plenty to enjoy. \nCome along and help us give Anna and Dominic a warm Tauranga welcome home. \n  \nVisit the facebook page

SUMMARY:A Seasonal Celebration — Scholars Baroque Aotearoa
DESCRIPTION:A Seasonal Celebration — Scholars Baroque Aotearoa\n\nScholars Baroque Aotearoa invites you to a Seasonal Celebration\, an evening honouring the joyful feast of St Cecilia\, patron saint of music\, and the warmth and anticipation of the Christmas season. This special programme is a one‑off offering for 2026\, shaped to bring together two radiant traditions in a single festive concert. \nWe are delighted to welcome back soprano Elizabeth Mandeno and tenor Iain Tetley\, both familiar and much‑admired voices in earlier Scholars Baroque performances. Their expressive clarity and refined musicianship bring a beautiful lift to this celebratory programme. \nAt the heart of the evening is Handel’s Ode for St Cecilia’s Day\, a vibrant tribute to music’s power. Performances of St Cecilia works are rare in New Zealand\, making this radiant ode a particularly special seasonal highlight. Inspired by Dryden’s vivid poetry\, the music traces creation\, emotion\, and triumph through Handel’s unmistakable colour and brilliance. \nVivaldi’s Magnificat continues the celebration with bold contrasts and vivid sacred writing. Often performed at Christmas Vespers in Venice\, the work carries a natural seasonal resonance. Its austere opening\, fiery choral movements\, and tender solos reveal Vivaldi at his most imaginative and expressive. \nThe programme concludes with Corelli’s “Christmas Concerto”\, long cherished for its serene beauty and gentle lyricism. Its elegant writing for concertino and ripieno\, expressive slow movements\, and pastoral final adagio evoke the stillness\, warmth\, and hope of the Nativity. \nWe are also pleased to welcome back Opus Orchestra\, long‑standing musical partners whose refined playing has shaped many of our most memorable performances. Under the direction of Chalium Poppy\, they bring a distinctive richness to this luminous celebration of Baroque music and the festive season. \nWith only one performance and a limited number of seats\, early booking is strongly advised to avoid disappointment. \nBuy your ticket here \n  \nFollow us on Facebook
