New Zealand born, Simon O’Neill has established himself as one of the finest helden-tenors on the international stage. He has frequently performed with the Metropolitan Opera, the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, Berlin, Hamburg and Bayerische Staatsopern, Teatro alla Scala and the Bayreuth, Salzburg, Edinburgh and BBC Proms Festivals, appearing with a number of illustrious conductors. The Woolston Brass Band has been in existence for 128 years having been the most successful and recognised band in New Zealand which consists of over thirty musicians of all ages. The band’s existing hall was damaged in the earthquakes and after a five-year search, the award-winning brass band has decided to rebuild on their existing historic Dampier Street site. Significant fundraising is now sought to rebuild this rehearsal facility that will host Woolston Brass and their pioneering education programme – the Woolston Brass Academy consisting of a learners group and two training bands; Woolston Junior Band and Woolston Concert Brass. “The Wagnerian tenor of his generation” PRESENTS in Concert with Woolston Brass Music Director Tyme Marsters Friday 8 November, 7.30pm James Hay Theatre Tickets available at Ticketek Sunday 10 November, 2.00pm Ashburton Trust Event Centre Tickets available at TicketDirect Simon O’Neill is proudly donating his voice to help Woolston Brass raise funds for the new band hall. The fundraising concerts being held Friday 8 November at the Christchurch James Hay Theatre and Sunday 10 November at the Ashburton Trust Event Centre will feature tenor classics such as traditional Irish ballad Danny Boy (Londonderry Air), Caruso written by Italian composer Dalla, the famous Swedish Folk Song (How Great Thou Art) and the iconic aria Largo Al Factotum from Rossini’s opera The Barber of Seville. Woolston Brass will also perform contemporary brass band works such as Tom Davoren’s Phoenix Rising and the movement Phoenix from Peter Graham’s War of the Worlds Suite, both of these works emulate the rise of a Phoenix from the ashes of destruction. “I’m excited to perform with the distinguished Woolston Brass in November. I’ve always admired their musical excellence and reputation and am honoured to be part of their fundraising campaign to secure their future home” said Simon O’Neill. Concert tickets are available for purchase from Ticketek (Christchurch Concert) and TicketDirect (Ashburton Concert).
