Following my first conducting engagement with the Auckland Wind Orchestra earlier this month, I have been asked to conduct another concert of theirs on Sunday 18th October. More details to follow.
I will also be conducting them at the Robin Holst Memorial Concert this Saturday. 2pm Saturday June 27, 2009. Auckland Normal Intermediate Hall. Poronui Street, Mt Eden.

The arrangements recently completed for composer Rhian Sheehan were for an up and coming TV series to start screening in September. Thanks to NZ Herald, here are some further details:

Great Southern Film and Television – the production company behind Who Wants to be a Millionaireand Singing Bee – will turn their hand to television drama for the first time as they begin filming The Cult. Described as “Prison Break meets Lost“, the 13-part series is the story of four 20-somethings trapped in the secret community of Two Gardens. The acclaimed cast will feature former McLeod’s Daughter Lisa Chappell, Law & Order’s Latham Gaines, East Endersactor Andrew Grainger and Shortland Street’s Renato Bartolomei, alongside award-winning Kiwi actors Kate Elliot and Scott Wills. The series received $6.45 million in NZoA funding and will be written by Kathryn Burnett, Nick Ward and Peter Cox – the same people behind The Strip, Street Legal and The Insider’s Guide to Happiness.
