SEBADOH - SOUTHERN SINFONIA - DAMIEN DEMPSEY- RELICS FB PAGE - RECORD STORE DAY!

KIA'ORA! Here's a few things we think you might care to know about that are happening now and in the near future...

SEBADOH - Chicks Hotel

Sun 30 March & Mon 31 March

Tickets selling quickly, get in while you can... you can buy them here. It's not often we get international gigs to Dunedin in such intimate settings.. make the most of it! Dave and Irene already have tix and will definitely be there!

Feel like you need to stock up on some listening check out our selection of Sebadoh instore here!

DAMIEN DEMPSEY 'It's all good tour' - Maori Hill Coronation Hall

Friday 28 March 7:30pm

We are selling tickets to this gig - pop in to RELICS and grab them for $33 (on the night tix will be $40 on the door!)

Here again is an international act well worth seeing - super duper famous in Ireland!

Fans that we have talked to can't quite believe that he is performing live in Dunedin - and again in such an intimate setting! If you don't know who he is, check out his music online or you can purchase his CD from us here ... this performance could be an opportunity you don't want to miss...

SOUTHERN SINFONIA 'We will remember them' - Dunedin Town Hall

Free pre-talk by Dr. Andrew Deruchie (Lecturer in the Music Dept @ University of Otago) 7:10 - 7:30pm. I highly recommend any talk by Andrew - informative, entertaining and guaranteed to teach you something you don't know!!

Such talented performers, fantastic works, and an awesome article in today's Otago Daily Times on Jessica Cottis... For more info about this performance, visit the Southern Sinfonia website here!

CLASSICAL CORNER: Lets take a musical tiki tour through the ages...

Posted on March 07, 2014 by Irene Hundleby

CLASSICAL CORNER: Lets take a musical tiki tour through the ages...

So... every now and then I do a little bit of tutoring at the University of Otago. This week tutorial classes began for Music students studying Musi102 - Music in Western Culture. I love this paper - a mix of historical context, a lot of listening and reading from the Medieval period through to the 20th Century. It is a quick dance through the centuries that gets my imagination flying and always leaves me in awe of the many great composers that have graced this earth. So in the midst of some pretty interesting lectures this week, I got to thinking, how about we do a blog that mirrors the adventure these students go on?

Long story short if you love CLASSICAL music then this blog could be something you might enjoy. Every week I will post music by the composers these students are studying, along with little tidbits of interesting info about the composers as we travel through the ages.

Simply go to the BLOG dropdown box (below the RELICS logo at the top of the page) and select CLASSICAL CORNER.. or CLICK HERE Hope you enjoy!
