Salute to Shakespeare

Auckland Clef Music Club’s July Concert is a Salute to Shakespeare.
Ever since the sixteenth Century, composers have sought inspiration in the great words of William Shakespeare.
His plays and poems have formed the base to numerous operas, art songs and instrumental pieces and in this concert our Performing Members (listed below) have selected from this wealth of repertoire to bring a selection for your enjoyment.

• Kate Blazey – soprano
• Naomi Browne – mezzo
• Barbara Hawthorn – poet
• Hāmiora Jackson – baritone
• Margo Knightbridge – mezzo
• Fay McNeil – soprano
• Anne Shanks – soprano

Joining them will be our guest ensemble:
• Gaudemus, comprising:
soprano, Hanna Wilberg • mezzo, Margo Knightbridge
cellist, Dora Green • pianist, Rose Cooper

Our Concert will, as usual, conclude with a generous supper — all included in the $10 ticket-price.

Clef Club’s concerts are held at the Fickling Centre venue, occurring from February through to November —normally on the third Tuesday of the month.

For those keen on hearing mainly classical vocal and instrumental music on a regular basis and at reasonable cost, this is the place for you!

All newcomers are welcome, either as members, or on a casual basis.

You can join either as an Associate (audience) member, or with a view to performing in our concerts. New singers and instrumentalists are especially welcome to augment our pool of Performing Members and we’re also keen to attract potential pianists who can provide supporting accompaniment to our singers and instrumentalists in their performances.

Do come along and see what we’re about and, if you’re a performer, perhaps arrange an audition.

Please note that our door sales are cash only: No eftpos facility available

With covid and other nasties lurking about in these winter months, it goes without saying:
Please don’t attend if you are at all unwell
