I went to my old high school last night to see the Dunedin Sinfonia
play for a couple of hours, which was nice. For one, it's great to see
such organisations as the sinfonia put on a show in a more local setting
(especially when said local setting was only two and a half blocks
away). The pieces played were done by Mozart (namely Symphony No 35 and
Haffner) and Beethoven (Symphony No 4) and a cute wee number with a harp
by Handal, with a New Zealand piece featuring a clarinet soloist
that... in my musically uneducated ears anyway... did nothing for me.
What was your weekend like?
Peter Stanley’s foray into writing was academic, while spearheading his first community development project within his local disabled persons’ community. A trained social worker, the last decade and a half had him work in customer care, qualitative research, supported employment, supporting his peers within the disabled community, and presently as a career coach. He hails from Gdynia, in Poland, but New Zealand has been home for forty odd years now.
