Museum Concert and Gary Daverne Work Premiere - New Zealandby Heather Masefield |
 The Dargaville Museum presented "An Afternoon of Music" on Sunday March 29th to celebrate the new hand made Kauri (a beautiful New Zealand wood) cases in which the accordions will be displayed.The program featured accordion group Noteable Soundz from Auckland, a youth group preparing for the 2009 Coupe Mondiale in Auckland in August. Their Director Lorriane Parnell also played a few solos. Dargaville vocalist Cindy Randall and pianist Nolene Osbaldiston performed then Lionel Reekie sang and played. Kevin Friedrich then performed on the instruments from the Dargaville Museum, starting with the oldest, about 130 years old through to the modern instruments of today, explaining each instrument as he played it. The world premiere of a new work by Gary Daverne "Three Songs Without Words" was performed by Kevin Friedrich with the orchestral score performed on piano by Nolene Osbaldiston. The very appreciative audience was then invited to visit the Museum Music Room, and view the exceptional collection of accordions that is there. |
