Friends of the Forrester arrange fundraiser

Friends of the Forrester have arranged a special concert to help raise funds for the projected $3.8 million redevelopment of the Forrester Gallery in Oamaru.

The group supports the redevelopment and has now arranged for two of New Zealand's accomplished classical musicians, pianist Maurice Till and violinist Martin Riseley, to give a recital at the gallery on Monday, September 6.

The recital will feature works by Mozart, Faure, Saint-Saens and popular shorter pieces by Kreisler, Wieniawski and Heifetz.

Friends of the Forrester chairman Bruce Albiston was delighted Friends was able to host musicians of such a high calibre at the gallery.

The recital will begin at 7.30pm and tickets are available from the gallery, with a limited number of door sales.
