COLOURS OF FUTUNA 2025 - 11 SUNDAYS and 11 CONCERTS from Sunday 6th April to Sunday 22nd June (excluding Easter Sunday 20th April) The Futuna Chapel Trust is grateful to the Wellington City Council Arts and Culture Fund for supporting this event. PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR PERFORMERS INFORMATION, DATES AND BOOKING DETAILS. 6 APRIL KRACKERJACK Krakerjack is a seven-piece band infusing a Kiwi twist into traditional Polish and klezmer tunes, celebrating these unique cultural traditions by fusing authenticity with innovation. Our pieces showcase soul-stirring vocal harmonies alongside virtuosic instrumentals, poignant ballads and lively dance numbers. We have been gigging since 2022 at various Polish community events, Newtown Festival, Slavfest and have started to perform outside of Wellington, including in Palmerston North at the Festival of Cultures. 13th APRIL: Gary Wilby Gary Wilby has recently retired after nearly 50 years in the classroom. He taught Music both in the classroom and as an Itinerant teacher – mostly in secondary schools. He was fortunate in 1995 to be appointed to the Composer in Schools position which resulted in many works for students to play. Gary graduated from the University of Canterbury with a MA(Hons). He plays piano and cello and while he has in the past sung in choirs, he now enjoys the annual NZCF Wellington May Workshop. Gary has played in many ensembles and has been in the Wellington City Orchestra (formerly Wellington Chamber Orchestra) since 1986. He formerly was for 15 years the Music Director and Conductor of the Capital Performing Arts Orchestra. He has regularly played with “Opus 3 Trio” for the past decade. This will be Gary's first performance in Futuna Chapel. 4 MAY: STRING QUARTETS: Julia Broom - violin Christine Wang - violin Eli Vincent - viola Eleanor Carter - cello 11 MAY: KLEZMER REBS: Klezmer Rebs are an 8 piece Wellington band formed in 2002 that plays (mostly) klezmer music, an engaging style of world/folk music born out of the Yiddish/Jewish culture of eastern Europe in the 1800s and 1900s. Klezmer then went to America and in the early 1900s began to fuse with jazz and swing. There has been a worldwide revival of klezmer music since the 1980s. Klezmer Rebs instrumentation includes guitar, mandolin, clarinet, violin, accordion, keyboards, trombone, helicon (like a tuba), string bass and vocals. Together the Klezmer Rebs capture the true klezmer spirit with songs of joy, sorrow and rebellion. 18 MAY: Michelle Velvin: solo harp Michelle Velvin is a Wellington based harpist, composer and teacher. She performs regularly as part of Orchestra Wellington and the NZSO and she is involved with diverse chamber music groups. As a musician her explorations have led to collaborations over wide-ranging genres and disciplines, such as Flow (trombone, voice and harp), Stroma, Duo Eolienne (saxophone and harp), Tamira Pūoro (taonga pūoro, cello, vocals and harp) and Seasons Ensemble (piano, saxophone and harp). In 2022 she released the debut album ‘Feather Spines’ with Ruby Solly, as part of the new duo 'Tamira Pūoro’ This duo features taonga pūoro, cello, vocals and harp, exploring the relationship between the contrasting instruments, and the history of Aotearoa New Zealand's social landscape. In 2019/2020 Michelle won the SOUNZ Community Commission to create a new work for the Auckland Harp Orchestra and live dancers. Most recently Michelle completed a new commission for the NZ Harp Festival, to be performed at the festival in February 2023. Michelle completed her PgDip in harp performance at Te Kōkī New Zealand School of Music in 2015. Concert description: Michelle will be performing a solo harp concert centered on NZ music, including new music by James Middleton, Autumn Arabesque by Kenneth Young and her new solo harp work, The Paekākāriki Blues. 25 MAY - Hala Aotearoa Hala hosts intimate music and art events.

Boat tour

西溪老翁

Cook Strait is the main transportation route connecting the South Island and the North Island of New Zealand. You need to take a ferry to cross the island by car. Most of the ferry routes go along the coast and islands, so the scenery on both sides is still very beautiful. The ferry takes 3.5 hours and is still worth experiencing.

Very beautiful pavilion, there are many natural creatures exhibits, and the display of Maori history and culture, it is worth seeing. But remind me that it is only free for the natives, and it costs 35 New Zealand dollars for foreign tourists!

Wellington&#39;s Vita Studio is a must-see place for all Ring King fans. Here, all the character scenes and props in the Ring King movie can be easily found, as if they are in the movie. These props are very realistic, especially the characters. It looked as amazing as it was alive, and I had to marvel at how great the craftsmen had been.
