The Royal New Zealand Air Force Band conductor is taking flight in Wellington this week with two concerts. Simon Brew is joining forces with the Wellington Youth Orchestra to perform Tchaikovsky's Symphony no. 6, the William Tell Overture and Bruch's Violin Concerto. Then on Sunday night he brings the Proms to the Opera House with the band performing military marches, show tunes and music from films.

The Opera House in Wellington has just undergone an amazing interior restoration and it is looking fabulous....

• Wellington Opera House restoration recognised with award for its use of colour


Although the engineers move into the building at the end of the year to earthquake strengthen the entire building and bring it up to code. I would have thought it would be best to get that done before restoring the interior, but I suppose the experts know what they are doing.
