Our next event is a studio visit to Akepiro Studios in Kingsland, followed by our AGM on Friday 16 June.
Thank you to all who came to this wonderful evening of music! Our gala concert evening featured piano, strings, voice - classical to contemporary, opera to original song. Musical delights included pianist Katherine Austin and cellist James Tennant of NZ Chamber Soloists, the APO's James Jin (violin) and Xing Wang (piano), pianist Madeleine Xiao, cellist Kimberley Yuan, singer-songwriter Montgomery and international opera singer Edward Laurenson (star of the recent production of Chess the Musical at the Dame Kiri Te Kawana Theatre in Auckland). The programme ranged from Mozart to Chopin to Schoenberg, and much much more. This was truly a night to treasure!
Our new event - MUSIC IN EDEN - every Friday lunchtime.

One of our recent events was a chamber music concert in Mt Eden with Jade String Quartet on Saturday 24 September. Look out for more music at the Mt Eden Village Centre in 2023!
On Saturday 30 July we held Eden Artspeak - Karekare Artist Talks with the first four artists-in-residence of 2022: Kalisolaite 'Uhila, Judy Darragh, Claudia Kogachi and Josephine Jelicich.
Thank you to everyone who attended our annual art pub quiz. As usual, it was a fun night with prizes galore...
We also recently enjoyed catching up with all the events we had to reschedule - Artists in Eden Day from March and the Mt Eden Chamber Music Festival (rescheduled from 2021) - as well as hosting Out of Karekare, an exhibition celebrating the artists-in-residence from last year's Karekare House residency programme.
Thanks for joining us at the Auckland Botanic Gardens to enjoy the sculptures!
