Children in Zambia

Astar and Rawhinia had a busy weekend. Starting on Saturday they were asked to help out some young violin players with performance on the Sunshine Coast.

On Sunday they had the privilege of performing (with the SCYO) to raise funds for unprivileged children in Zambia. It was a wonderful event and everything was donated from the performance, which meant that 100% of the money goes straight to the School and Orphanage in Zambia. They have over 800 children that they look after.  It is amazing.

Busking at Kenilworth Arts Festival

Recently we were invited to busk at the Kenilworth Arts Festival. This is a festival that is held every year at Kenilworth. This year they had roaming buskers. We had a great time and as a bonus we won an $50 encouragement prize.

Nigel Kennedy

We have found a couple of pieces of music for you to listen to by Nigel Kennedy on Youtube. Kennedy is playing the violin, this one is  when Kennedy was younger playing The Four Seasons http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PipHtumoiL0&feature=related 

This next piece is a deeply moving piece of music that shows up Kennedy's perfect playing. Just beautiful.

We hope that you like the music.

We will post again next week.

Womens Celebration

Hi everyone, sorry we haven't posted for a week. We have been very busy.

On the holidays we had the honour of performing at a Women's Celebration. The celebration is held every year. Each year different women are invited to perform at a dinner that celebrates what women can achieve. We were the first to perform (because we were the youngest). The celebration started at 6:30pm and finished at around midnight (we didn't stay all night). Although we didn't stay all night all of the acts that we saw were fabulous, ranging from folk singers, jazz, and pop music. We are still baking and busking to save up for our trip to Europe (a long way to go but we are not giving up). We will post again on Monday next week.
