Festival Choir  

 

With Anna Heinz - Choir Mistress Extraordinaire

Bring along your best singing voice and join lots of other people as Anna teaches two songs to be performed in the last concert of the festival.  This is always very popular and we wind up with more choir than audience.

Recorder/Flute Workshops - To Be confirmed

With Marguerite Clubb (To be confirmed)

"Wind@Tui" will have two formal sessions during the festival.  Marguerite will provide resources and support to extend your performance levels, no matter what level you are at.  You will be encouraged to get together with other folkies you meet and practice around your camping areas.  Beginner wind players will have guidance to play just a few notes which will all come together into a big wind band performance in the "blind date" concert on the last day.  With experience tutoring flute ensembles, Marguerite is now a full time Primary school teacher and leads an 'all comers' school band.  She also coordinates three bands with her husband Barrie in "The Christchurch Community Music club", which has been meeting for over six years.  Marguerite plays flute, piano, baritone and tenor sax.  Show an interest in music at Tui and you are in!!  Marguerite will notice your aspiring talents and direct them to enhance the festival.  Please bring your wind instrument to Tui and blow the dust off or through it.
