Wellington’s creative community takes over old halls
Wellington’s creative community takes over old halls around the city.
An exciting series of gigs are taking place in old halls around Wellington throughout 2013. Old Hall Gigs is a series of events coordinated by Sarah Smythe and Thomasin Sleigh which sees local musicians, artists, dancers and writers take over old halls in Wellington for eclectic variety nights of art and music.
The evenings will take place in unfamiliar venues all over the city and will provide audiences with a chance to listen to music, art and literature in non-rowdy spaces, and also explore the variety of interesting halls dotted around the city.
The first event will take place on Saturday 18 May at the elegant Vogelmorn Hall in Brooklyn.
The line up for the night includes the beautiful music of Wellington-based duo Glass Vaults, a sculptural installation by the artist collective of Sarah Hudson, Bridget Reweti, Terri Te Tau, and Erena Baker, readings by bright young poets Lee Posna and Hera Lindsay Bird, and a solo violin piece by composer Tristan Carter.
