Raukatauri concert for children

A concert for children that aims to introduce them to a wide range of instruments and musical styles is being held in central Auckland next month. Free for children, the one hour concert will include performances by music therapists and volunteers and supporters of the Raukatauri Music Therapy Centre, culminating in an ensemble piece inviting children to join in with their own percussion instrument. The concert is a fundraiser for the Raukatauri Music Therapy Centre, which works with children with special needs. It will run from 2 to 3pm on Saturday, August 7, followed by afternoon tea and a chance to meet the musicians. The venue is the Baptist Tabernacle, 429 Queen Street, Central Auckland.

Tickets are $20 for adults from www.rmtc.org.nz
