In Your Neighbourhood Baroque Bassoon

6.30pm, Tuesday 24 September

Takapuna Methodist Church

Featuring Ingrid Hagan, Principal Bassoon

Vivaldi Bassoon Concerti

Usually used to reinforce the bass of the orchestra, this In Your Neighbourhood concert brings the bassoon to the centre stage.

APO Section Principal Bassoon Ingrid Hagan leads a group of fellow musicians through the best of Vivaldi’s concerti for woodwind.

The bassoon is a fascinating instrument that was not widely used in orchestras until the 17th century. Baroque composers were in hot demand writing solo and ensemble pieces for the instrument.

Jazz Vespers is a modern take on an old church service. Vespers were held in the evening, as part of the traditional daily services of the church, and served to bring the day to a spiritual end with music, prayer and repose. Such a service, but using the jazz musical genre, with NZ Jazz musicians will include:

• A night of contagious rhythms with great musicians playing jazz standards and other moody music related to that particular heavenly body!
• Reflective contemporary readings and music for all Faiths through Jazz.
• A concert with a difference in response to enthusiastic acclaim in past years.

Featuring David Selfe – Piano, with Ben McNicoll – Tenor Saxophone, and Jazz singers
At Takapuna Methodist Church Cnr Lake Rd & Tennyson Ave

This is an annual event not to be missed.  Koha in aid of organ upgrade
