The New Zealand Community Trust Chamber Music Contest

Mr E. Shields, Pasifika Advisor, HOD Visual and Performing Arts, TIC Music. —

The NZ Community Trust Chamber Music Contest was held last weekend at Marama Hall.

Congratulations to Mozart men, featuring Madeline Gray, Sylvia Otley and Marika Fukuzawa. A special mention to Dimitrio featuring Ayla Biner-McGrath and Rose Stevenson’s little brother, Louis Stevenson, who were selected in the top eight groups over the weekend.

The top accolade however went to Sarah de Vries’ group, Unsung Heroes, who won the District round of the competition. Sarah also received a KBB Music award for wind playing. Unsung Heroes will now perform in Christchurch at the South Island regional finals of the New Zealand Chamber Music Contest on June 23, where they hope to be selected to compete in the national semifinals and, ultimately, the national final.
