First Tuesday Concert - Royal NZ Navy Band

Our First Tuesday concert on May 4th features the highly anticipated return of the Royal New Zealand Navy Band.

The band consists of thirty-two full-time musicians who tour the country playing concerts, giving workshops and demonstrations and providing entertainment and where required the formality and solemnity at civic functions. They are a National cultural asset we are rightly proud of.

However they are also highly accomplished soloists and Chamber Music players in their own right, and they chose repertoire to showcase these skills.

In their 2020 First Tuesday Concert from the opening line of their arrangement for Debussy’s “Girl with the Flaxen Hair” it was clear this would be a programme of fresh ideas and masterful ensemble playing.
