What a beautiful country we live in! Thanks to Chamber Music New Zealand, we had a fantastic time. 

We had our first school shows for 2014 yesterday and have already received some lovely feedback from the schools.
Here's some from yesterday's shows.

"A really wonderful show. The whole primary really enjoyed themselves and are buzzing about it."

"That was amazing"

We really enjoy playing for schools however we were a little confused about this sign in the carpark.

We're playing for Auckland Museum's 2014 ANZAC Day Commemorations. Do you have any WWI musical requests?
Early birds can come see us play for free at 6.35am and again at 8.00am in the WWI sanctuary this ANZAC day.

Karl Steven explores the secret world of the brass family and talks to some of New Zealand's shiniest brass players - Huw Dann, John Gluyas, and Emma Richards of ACE Brass and the Auckland Philharmonic Orchestra - about their instruments. Delve into the history of trumpets, trombones, horns, and tubas and their kin, explore Tutankhamun's burial chamber, and learn about musical military signals, as well as listening to a truckload of brazen and beautiful brassy music.

Listen here

Tune in to Radio New Zealand on Saturday November the 30th around 4.10pm to hear us featured on the Secret Life of Brass.

We had a great time today playing for New Lynn Primary School. It was a really special performance as a whole group of kids from the school rehearsed and performed with us too.
Sadly it was our last school show for this year, but we're really excited about what we've got planned for our 2014 education shows.

A huge thank you to Leni Sulusi from Strike Percussion for playing drums with us this year for our school shows. Leni will be back for more fun and push ups in 2014 too!

We are very proud to have performed for the first legal same sex wedding in New Zealand this morning. Congratulations to Tash and Mel, they both looked beautiful. (Not pictured here!)
