Before joining the NZSO as Principal Cellist in 2010, UK‑born Andrew Joyce played regularly with the London Symphony and London Philharmonic Orchestras, and toured the world’s great concert halls as Guest Principal. He joins forces with internationally acclaimed concert pianist Dr Jian Liu, currently the Programme Director of Classical Performance and Head of Piano Studies at the New Zealand School of Music—Te Kōkī. Although the pair has played together in chamber ensembles, this is their first collaboration as a duo.

2024-07-07 15:00 - 17:00 | St Andrews Church, 30 The Terrace, Wellington, 6011, Wellington, The Terrace, 6011, New Zealand
Nicole Chao and Beth Chen are a virtuosic pair who have been playing piano duets for six years. They energise classical music through their virtuosic and emotionally thrilling programmes. The “unanimity of feeling” that one reviewer notes arises from their shared musical vision, which is seen in their harmonised physical gestures and heard in their remarkably synched sonic utterances. Their physical and musical gestures are saturated with subtleties of nuance only made possible after years of full-time duo partnership.

Te Tiriti Workshops Belong to This Land
2024-10-30 19:00 - 21:00 | St Andrews Church, 30 The Terrace, Wellington, 6011, Wellington, The Terrace, 6011, New Zealand
Change of date: Belonging in this Land – Te Tiriti workshops – Wednesday 30th October and Wednesday November 6th 7-9pm
The Social Justice Education Group is hosting two evening workshops on Te Tiriti o Waitangi and responding as people of faith in this land. We invite you to attend both parts of the workshop.
Conversation about the Treaty is happening all around us.
There is an important opportunity right now to dive into our shared story so that we know our place to stand and how we can belong, wherever our ancestors came from.
‘Belonging in this land: Treaty basics from a Christian perspective’ is an opportunity for our faith community to explore the story of the Treaty of Waitangi over two 90-minute video sessions. Whether you know a lot, or a little, let’s be curious together.
Brought to us by Common Grace Aotearoa in partnership with Karuwhā Trust and Te Manu Hononga – the Sir Paul Reeves Centre, we will hear from expert presenters, including Dean of Taranaki Cathedral Jay Ruka and former Anglican Archbishop David Moxon, to help you refresh or expand your knowledge.
You can view a short trailer on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/kWVM4T7tiCo?si=41IRrUx0RGrkXdpW
Please register for these workshops so we can plan capacity and some catering. RVSP to office@standrews.org.nz (04)4729211
We look forward to welcoming you to these workshops.
Paul Barber and David Douglas, SJ Coordinators.
