A diamond anniversary for the NZCT Chamber Music Contest.

- RICHARD BETTS

Fly my pretties

You know, they didn't play Grażyna Bacewicz in my day. The NZCT Chamber Music Contest for high school students celebrates its 60th birthday this year, and over that time some things have changed, not least the repertoire. When I was a high schooler back in the late Jurassic era, you'd hear Haydn quartets and Mozart quintets. If a school's music teacher was particularly adventurous, you might get a Shostakovich piano trio.

I'm a firestarter

Late spring is bonfire season out here in the sticks. It is the time of year when we rural types - even we half-baked, lily-livered ones who have washed up from the city - set fire to enormous piles of dead wood, felled trees and sundry vegetation that have been building up since last summer, or perhaps even the summer before.
