SUMMARY:Peter & the Wolf @ NECOM
DESCRIPTION:New England Wind Ensemble (NEWE) is performing the classic Peter and Wolf story with music. Conducted by Paul Marshall and narrated by Louisa Sindel-Marshall\, this delightful performance is suitable for young children and adults alike. \nComposed by Russian Sergei Prokofiev\, we hear the tale of young Peter who strays from his garden ignoring his Grandfather’s orders\, and meets a variety of animals including the dreaded wolf. Each animal is represented by an instrument in the group. \nThere will be an introduction and demonstration of woodwind\, brass and percussion instruments\, perfect for young children who might be thinking about learning an instrument in the future. The concert will last less than 1 hour\, perfect for first -time concertgoers (suitable for ages 3-100). \nThere are many versions of the story and music online\, in bookshops and at the library. Families might like to spend time listening and reading the story together beforehand to become familiar with the tale\, but this is not a prerequisite. You can also find free colouring pages for Peter and the Wolf online. \nAlso on the programme is A Night at the Circus composed by Paul Marshall. This descriptive short work musically describes Some Serious Clowns\, Wire Walkers\, Illusionists and Under the Big Top. \nPlease be aware that the auditorium is upstairs. There is a chair lift if needed. There will be pram parking downstairs.

SUMMARY:Requiem for the Living
DESCRIPTION:The Armidale Symphony Orchestra will be joined by the Armidale Choral Society and Fiori Musicali\, together with vocal soloists Samantha Cobcroft\, Jiya Aila\, and Kent McIntosh\, in a concert of glorious and uplifting choral music. The centrepiece of the program is Requiem for the Living by American composer Dan Forrest. This will be a rare presentation of this powerful and profoundly human work outside Australia’s capital cities. Traditionally\, a Requiem is a mass for the dead. However\, Forrest’s Requiem for the Living (2013) offers a different perspective. Across its five movements\, the work forms a narrative not only of remembrance\, but of solace—speaking to the living and their own experiences of grief\, pain\, and hope. Conductor: Bruce Menzies. \n

SUMMARY:ArtsNational Lecture: "Is This the Real Life?..."
DESCRIPTION:Is This the Real Life? How writers and artists have challenged our perceptions of reality – Mary Sharp (UK) \nWhen Lucy goes through the wardrobe into Narnia\, when Harry Potter opens his letter and when Ned takes the red pill\, they all discover that the worlds they thought they knew are only part of the truth. From Plato onwards\, writers and artists have sought to create other worlds that inspire our imagination. \nMary now runs her own company Opening Up Literature which offers literature courses for adults including studies of Shakespeare and Creative Writing. Her most popular course is Telling Tales\, which explores how writers and artists have reinvented classical stories. She is a professional bridge teacher and lecturer. \nDoors open 5.30pm.

SUMMARY:The Dumb Waiter @ The Playhouse
DESCRIPTION:Age guidance: 12+ \nThe Dumb Waiter\, by Nobel laureate Harold Pinter\, is coming to The Playhouse. This razor-sharp post-World War II comedy of menace depicts a world where humour opens the door and menace walks in. Two men wait in a basement room for instructions\, filling the time with tea\, football\, the newspaper\, and small irritations. In The Dumb Waiter\, language is never just small talk. It is a tool\, a shield\, a weapon. The pauses speak as loudly as the words. As messages begin arriving\, routine starts to fracture and the pressure climbs. Darkly funny\, tightly wound\, and unsettlingly familiar\, this modern classic turns the everyday into something dangerous and asks: what happens when a system demands obedience without explanation? Get ready to laugh and then suddenly feel the room change. \nLimited seating\, bookings recommended. \nBy Arrangement with ORiGiN™ Theatrical on behalf of Samuel French A Concord Theatricals Company
