 The Dargaville Museum which houses the superb Accordion Gems by Kevin Friedrich ... A Master Collection of Accordions through Time... was also the venue of the Kevin Friedrich and Friends 2023 Christmas Concert on December 3rd, 2023. Report at: 2023DargavilleFor this production ‘Making Spirits Bright', the Lighthouse Function Centre was once again filled with people, music and community friendship as the talented variety of performers delighted concert goers with their musical and dance offerings. The concert featured both up and coming performers, some taking to the stage for the first time, thru to seasoned professional artists and groups. Performers included: North Shore Accordion Orchestra, Anna Collins, Laura & Annie Carey, Leah Newlove Kaipara Ballet, Lionel Reekie, Jone Yelcich, Take 6, Linda Emmett Litt, Ruth & Hans de Man, Martin Rhodes, Elizabeth Card, Rivertown Singers, Roslyn Gilmour, Alanah Jones, Maurice Jones, Nolene Osbaldiston, the Dargaville Tamburica Orchestra and Karyn & Ken Inder. Sincere thanks go to committee member and Concert Organiser Margaret Tier. Many of the attendees offered feedback that the Show was so professionally presented and were interested to hear that Margaret conducts behind the scenes rehearsals in the weeks leading up to the Concert, to ensure that the artists are in top form on the day of the production. In addition to Margaret, special thanks go to the Sound, Lighting and Video Team including Kerrian Russell, Mike Collins and Ken Cashin, who kindly donate their expertise. Continuing with this community spirit, additional thanks go to the Dargaville Little Theatre and CARTERS - Dargaville for providing all the materials used to construct the Concert Stage. Plans are already underway for the fundraising series to continue in 2024 where the concerts are sure to fill the Lighthouse with more incredible music performed by an array of talented artists.
