Diana Neild and Friends Variety Concert

On December 18 the final Sunday Matinee concert for the year features the versatile local musician Diana Neild leading a variety programme including flutes, strings and saxophones, with 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 ten years, often playing their own arrangements of well-known classical tunes.

Twelve-year-old harp player Anthony Yuan joins Diana Neild in a bracket of music for flute and harp.

A flute choir was put together especially for this concert. Although much of the repertoire consists of arrangements of existing music such as this Sound of Music Selection, some composers are now writing specifically for this combination.

Palmy Sweethearts are proud to be Palmerston North’s first female sax quartet. They appreciate the vast number of arrangements available for this group of instruments, both jazz and classical, and play wherever they are invited.

Moxy functions band plays songs from the twenties right through to the present day. Gigs and concerts have included music for themed events such as James Bond, Swinging Sixties’, Anzac Tribute and Friday Thirteenth. This is their first “unplugged” appearance.

The concert begins at 2.30pm. Admission is by donation, recommended from $5.
