'A Night At The Garibaldi’ Comes To Old St Paul’s

Sunday, 31 October 2010 at 4 pm

The Garibaldi Club was established in 1882 by the earliest Italian settlers and is part of the social life of many Italian people in Wellington. Since 1992, one or two concerts a year held over two successive nights, for established and emerging musical artists have been arranged by Rex Da Vanzo, an active member of the Garibaldi Club. These concerts have seen many of the performers go on to careers in their choice of music. Tickets to these concerts are limited to 130/night and are highly sought after.

As a special Rotary Foundation fund-raising event, our District Governor, Howard Tong, who has been the MC for these concerts for a number of years, and Rex have arranged with the artists who are performing at the Garibaldi on 29 & 30 October, to present an afternoon concert at Old St Paul’s on Sunday, 31 October.

The programme includes Tim Beveridge from Auckland, Naomi Ferguson from Christchurch, New Zealand Aria winner, Julia Booth from Hamilton, and a number of local performers including Chris Crowe. The afternoon promises variety and entertainment of a high standard.

Further information can be obtained from Judy Dearsley (Eastern Hutt) on 04 976 9935.
