Enjoy Baroque music from Ōtautahi Christchurch’s remarkable Seasoning Ensemble who will perform as a chamber trio with voice, strings and harpsichord.
Get in tune with the early works on paper and paintings in As Time Unfolds and join us directly after the music for a fascinating floortalk of the exhibition with curator Ken Hall at 3pm.
The Seasoning Ensemble is a Baroque chamber music group specialising in the inspired, virtuosic, and informed performance of early music.
This performance will feature guest soprano Alexandra Watson, virtuoso violinist Hijiri Yamamoto, and harpsichordist Daniel Cooper.

Countdown to Fifteen
Fifteen is our birthday party (guess how old we are…) and it’s less than two weeks away! It’s also the opening event for Tony de Lautour’s US V THEM, which is our big winter exhibition. We asked curator Peter Vangioni and visitor programmes coordinator Amy Marr what they’re most excited about in the incredible line-up for this grand birthday bash.
Notes
Been to some lame ‘youth’ events lately?
Now’s your chance to help create a cool event for you and your friends!
The Mix is Christchurch’s Art Gallery bi-monthly late-night event – an interactive mix of art, music, film and good people. We want to run a Mix designed, curated and for under 18s – ReMix.

Gallery Happenings: Grayson Gilmour
In early March we were lucky enough to have the incredibly talented Grayson Gilmour performing at the Gallery, supported by the equally talented Purple Pilgrims and New Dawn. I love these gigs, but there is a lot of work to be done behind the scenes to make sure that, by the time the public walk in the door, the foyer is gig ready. The process normally feels like a long, slow marathon with a sprint at the final corner. So here’s a guide to how you too can get the NZI Foyer gig-ready in five (or six) easy steps.
