The Capital Performing Arts Orchestra (known as CPA) and the Confucius Institute (Victoria University) performed a combined concert on September 9th 2014 at “The Pines” Houghton Bay Wellington.

It was a great night out and I enjoyed listening to a variety of very talented musicians.

A well known person busking on the streets of Wellington is Mr Huang playing the Erhu.

Here is a link to a National Radio docomentary about him:

My Daughters music teachers invited us to the concert as they were performing with their traditional chinese instruments.
