Darren Smith and Andy Keys Concert 18th July 2010

Wow, what a great Concert and what a great mid-winter turnout on a cold Sunday evening. The music was hot inside though with Darren Smith and Andy Keys of MusicWorks playing some magnificent easy listening and light jazz classics on our brand new, latest model and state-of-the-art Yamaha Clavinova CVP-509. Each note on this piano has been digitally sampled 5 times to give the most realistic feel and sound of a true acoustic piano but with the added advantage of full orchestrations at the touch of a button. To make sure everybody got a good view of the keyboard and fingers, Darren brought along a large data projector screen. The Concert was also captured on video for a DVD in due course that will be made available to members courtesy of Darren and Andy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

A big thank you to the Committee for rallying round and organizing this Concert with less than two weeks notice! A big thank you also to Sue Rossiter of the Takapuna Bowling Club for attending the bar to add to the relaxed evenings entertainment.

First prize in the raffle was won by Ngaire Macrea - a set of six high quality bottles of wine. Second prize went to Barbara McNab - a set of four nicely decorated coffee mugs.

A big thank you to all that attended the evening and entered into the spirit of helping the Club raise the final dollars to pay for our brand spanking new pride and joy Clavinova the top-of-the-range CVP-509.
