Myth or Legend

'Scotland's landscape is rich with old stories of strange creatures that lurk within its hidden glens and deep lochs. Some are merely shy, perhaps willing to offer gifts for acts of kindness. Other are much more dangerous, by either posing a threat or foreshadowing doom.
Take a tour of Scotland's countryside and meet some of its most famous and most elusive inhabitants.'

Celtic Pipe Band bring to the stage the myths and legends of Scotland in their fourth annual stage show. Celtic's shows are known for their blend of traditional and modern music, instruments and dance. The Celtic Pipe Band being the prime entertainment. The NZ Grade 2 Band is joined by its Development band, with almost 50 musicians on stage ranging from 8 years old to 80, for this is powerful music. Helen's Highland Dancers perform traditional dances with a modern flair. With fabulous lighting, projected images, this show is a delight for all the family and anyone with an interest in Scotland, Scottish music and dance.

The Nelson Civic Choir welcomes you to its 2016 programme with Mozart's Requiem, conducted by Carl Browning, with organist Michael Bell accompanying. The soloists are soprano Helen Charlton, alto Erica Sim, tenor Ewen Griffith, and bass Robert Tucker; the choir is joined by singers from Golden Bay and Motueka.

The story of the Requiem's composition has an eerie quality, which has been much embroidered. In his final weeks, Mozart was working on a Mass for the Dead, an anonymous commission delivered by an unknown visitor - like a messenger from another world. The work was unfinished at his death, and the Levin completion sung here is one of many. In the 1960s a sketch for an Amen fugue was discovered, which Levin developed for this version. The Requiem's musical themes are lyrical and memorable, and the work serves as an appropriate tribute to the great composer himself.
