The final Globe Sunday Matinee Concert for the year features versatile Palmerston North musician Diana Neild leading a variety programme which will include flutes, strings and saxophones, as well as performances on piano and harp.
Trio Bella (Diana Neild - flute, Yuri Park - violin, Joanna Dann - cello, Chris
Dann - piano) have enjoyed performing at functions and concerts for nearly 10 years, often playing their own arrangements of well-known classical tunes.
Twelve-year-old harp player Anthony Yuan joins Neild in a bracket of music for flute and harp.
A flute choir was put together specially for this concert. Although much of the repertoire consists of arrangements of existing music such as Selections from The Sound of Music, some composers are now writing specifically for this combination.
Palmy Sweethearts are proud to be Palmerston North’s first female saxophone quartet. They appreciate the vast number of arrangements available for this group of instruments, in both jazz and classical stylings.
