Our final Spring Sessions evening welcomes curator Violet Hirst to the stage. Contemporary acoustic stories, with Wakatipu High School's Littles Road Trio opening.
Spring Sessions are a series of original music evenings over happening October and November, showcasing our local Tāhuna artists. It's time to put a spotlight on the compositions created from around our lakes and mountains we get to call home. We invite you to listen and enjoy the talents and creativity of our own dear community.
Violet is a Tāhuna born-and-raised artist. Violet’s musical journey began the night she was born - opening night of her mother’s musical Kitchens. Since then, Violet has been experimenting and learning different ways to get back on the stage.
Violet's debut album Donegal released in 2023 was recorded in Cromwell capturing the wind, water, birds, and cars driving by. Donegal placed on SRN and Radioscope Alternative charts, with features on Flying Nun, Rolling Stone and RNZ. Hirst will be accompanied by her father, Nigel on flute and Pol Nicholson on guitar.
“(Donegal) is brimming with the confidence of an artist fully inhabiting their own sound; wistful and slightly heartbroken, but unencumbered by expectation." - RNZ
“Evident to everyone present was how special that rainy night was, how flawless, nuanced and emotive Hirst’s singing and songwriting. The real deal, with the crowd standing in the rain outside afterwards, not ready to leave, raving.” - NZ Musician
Opening the evening will be Wakatipu High School students - Littles Road Trio (Sasha Winter, Neve Cruikshank and Tallulah Penetito) who are "having fun and experimenting with harmonies". Fourteen-year-old Saige Galloway will also be sharing songs to begin the evening.
