SUMMARY:Nelson City’s Autobiography in Buildings with Christopher Vine
DESCRIPTION:Fairfield House warmly invites you to join us on: \nSunday 9 June 2024 2pm \nNelson City’s Autobiography in Buildings. \nA virtual stroll around our City with Christopher Vine.. an illustrated talk. \nTo be followed by the unveiling of Christopher’s mural for Fairfield and afternoon tea. \n“During the 60 years I have made Nelson my home\, recording and writing about its buildings\, the truth of Ruskin’s view that nations inadvertently write their own autobiography in their art and architecture has become evident. Even at the scale of one small city\, I think it is possible to draw conclusions about society from early colonial times to present merely by looking around us. As a former conservation architect in England\, I have written many illustrated articles about New Zealand since arriving in 1964\, culminating in material for my book\, Nelson Observed”. \nTickets here – $10. RSVP essential. \nIf the $10 entry fee is a barrier to you attending we still welcome you. Please get in touch with Catherine on 027 467 2127 to book your place.

SUMMARY:Takadimi
DESCRIPTION:Takadimi\, led by Manjit Singh\, is a cross-cultural musical odyssey merging ancient classical Indian\, jazz\, and world music forms in the space of a single performance. \nCollaborating with exceptional musicians from both New Zealand (Nathan Haines\, Avantdale Bowling Club) and India (Taufiq Qureshi\, Dilshad Khan) Takadimi’s compositions represent a fusion of cultures\, bridging gaps between Eastern & Western genres. \nManjit Singh\, recognized for his innovative arrangements\, received high acclaim for his integration of Indian classical elements in a nominated song for the prestigious 2019 Silver Scrolls. Having studied under the tutelage of tabla maestro Fazal Qureshi from Mumbai and holding degrees in Musicology and Jazz\, Manjit Singh is globally respected as a hybrid musician\, bridging the worlds of Indian and mainstream music. \nHis passion for teaching Indian classical music led him to being a leader in the New Zealand Indian community and\, more recently\, as a faculty member at the University of Auckland. \nTogether\, Manjit Singh and Daljeet Kaur form the soul of Takadimi\, adding an extra layer of richness between calming and electric modals. One moment\, the audience may be lulled into a trance by the ethereal Hindustani vocals and sitar playing of Daljeet; their souls carried away on waves of harmonic sound. And in the next instant\, the room pulses with vibrant energy as Manjit takes the stage\, his fingers dancing across the tabla\, playing melodic rhythms faster than one can keep pace of\, yet perfectly synchronized to the tight Jazz progressions of his fellow talented band-members. \nWith their distinctive sound and a shared vision of bringing Indian arts into the mainstream\, Takadimi invites listeners on a musical journey that celebrates the power of cultural collaboration. \nDOORS OPEN – 7PM \nMUSIC – 7:30PM \nTICKETS – https://events.humanitix.com/takadimi \nFB: facebook.com/takadiminz\nInstagram: instagram.com/takadiminz/

SUMMARY:Leigham Fitzpatrick & Hyram Twang
DESCRIPTION:Leigham and Hyram come from different times\, different places and different musical backgrounds but have found themselves on the same path influencing each other’s songwriting and musical direction. In this show they will perform separately and together\, playing their original songs and covers that have influenced both of their musical personas. \nLeigham is a Dunedin based singer/songwriter\, heavily influenced by the likes of Leonard Cohen and Nick Cave. Their unusual guitar style combines alternative tunings\, wacky capos and a self taught technique\, while their lyrics tell stories from their short but exciting life. \nHyram is a multi-instrumentalist and songwriter whose songs and song choices are heavily influenced by his Southern California roots. \nDoors open 7pm \nShow starts 7:30pm \nTickets from UTR HERE for $15 \n
