NZSO for FREE

The New Zealand Symphony Orchestra is playing at the Aotea Centre tomorrow for absolutely free! The performance is part of the Pick and Mix series which is specifically aimed at exposing kids to a wide range of performing arts. The 11am show is only 45 minutes and will be followed by a free workshop.

I know a lot of parents are reluctant to take their kids to shows and movies because it's not worth the grief of getting them to sit still in a seat for an hour plus. The great thing about these performances is that they're usually in a foyer at the Centre so the kids can sit down, get up, roll around on the floor (a Haeata favourite) and wander around with free abandon. The workshops are a lot of fun too. Last week we all learnt how to Dougie and another time we learnt how to rock out on a ukelele.
