July 31 2006 Concert with Jonathan
Lemalu and Sandra Martinovic
This fantastic event was a huge success.
The concert was sold out well in advance resulting in many disappointed
concert lovers being turned away. The highlight was undoubtedly the
duets between Jonathan and Sandra. The augmented choir of 75 with
orchestra rose to the occasion and the atmosphere was electric.
The musicians received a standing ovation lasting several minutes.
Jonathan spoke at the end
of the concert and thanked all those involved: soloists Dominique
Peyroux, Sarah Wilson, Taniamaree Joll. He paid special tribute
to Dr Raymond White, you may read about the concert and tribute in the Southland Times

concert was interviewed afterterwards
