Kia ora koutou.

The Education Library will be hosting two special lunchtime performances this month to celebrate NZ Music Month, and to get something fun and non-move-related happening over at the Dovedale side of things 🙂

Come along on Tuesday 16th May to see Darren Pickering, jazz pianist extraordinaire. And yes, although I have called in a favour to have Darren here, I hardly had to twist his arm – he loves the idea of bringing music to our library! Darren has performed internationally, including at festivals in Cyprus and Lebanon, and he continues to be a regular performer at jazz festivals throughout NZ. We are incredibly lucky to have Darren playing solo piano live in the library ahead of his New Zealand Jazz Festival performances this month.

On Monday 22nd May we will have a performance from singer/songwriter, composer and musician, the multi-talented and very lovely Alice Tanner. Alice is a professional singer who performs around NZ in many different genres and bands. She will be singing a mixture of covers, originals and jazz standards for her performance in the library.

Both performances are free, so bring your lunch and come along for some live music in the Education Library!

Darren Pickering: Tuesday 16 May, 12.15pm – 12.55pm.

Alice Tanner: Monday 22 May, 12.15pm – 12.55pm.
