MESSAGE FROM OUR SOCIETY’S PATRON
It has been my pleasure over many years as the Society’s Patron to welcome our
entrants from near and far, to take part in our 61st Annual Festival.
Our Society is proud to be able to provide a platform for talent in the performing arts to
be seen and heard in an atmosphere that promotes healthy competition between
amateur performers.
In the greater Auckland Area we are now the oldest Competition Society, and are
proud of our long heritage and the support we have been given over the many years
by our sponsors, supporters and previous competitors.
The Society’s Committee have worked hard to prepare this programme for our
competitors and for the enjoyment of the Society’s supporters.
My very best wishes go to each of you as you compete in your classes. Competitions
are not only about competing, they are also about hearing and seeing others perform,
meeting new people and making new friends. It is an opportunity for you to meet
people with interests similar to yours and form lasting friendships.
Some of you will have participated in our previous competitions and we thank you for
coming back and giving us the pleasure of seeing you perform once again. I would like
to extend a special welcome to those of you who are new to our Competitions.
The Society’s Committee makes every effort to ensure that your participation in our
classes will be enjoyable for you. In doing so it aims to provide unbiased adjudication
by involving adjudicators of the highest professional standards. Over the years many
of our competitors have gone on to join orchestras, participate in shows and choirs,
perform in theatre, opera and dance, and some of our competitors have become solo
performers both nationally and internationally.
I would like to thank the business community and individual donors for assisting with
sponsoring our Competitions, and our hardworking Committee members for their
voluntary time and effort in making these Competitions possible each year. I trust that
for those of you who are visiting the North Shore take the opportunity to visit some of
our recreational facilities and support our local business community.

MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT
To competitors and your supporters welcome to the Auckland Super City which is
celebrating its 175th anniversary.
Compared to this, last year we celebrated our Diamond Jubilee (60 years) which was a
milestone for us as we are the oldest Performing Arts Competitions Society in the
Auckland Area. However
we are still the “Junior Cousins” when we compare
ourselves with our brother/ sister organisations nationally, most of whom are in their
nineties and some have or are about to celebrate their centennials
All that aside welcome to the 61st year of our Society whose principle objective is to
provide a platform for students of all the performing arts to have their individual
performances critiqued by an independent adjudicator who has spent many years
following their passion.
Please take a moment or two and read the biographical sketches of our adjudicators
at the front of each programme and look at their achievements - Most of them know
doubt will boast that their career started as you are now, as a competitor, and dare I
say are now giving back to Societies such as ours the benefit of what they gained
when they had their own performances critiqued and their careers progressed.
Again I would like to acknowledge and thank all our sponsors and helpers.
However our Competitions “technically are not a weekend event “and although we
may have enough support while the events are taking place these events do not
happen overnight.
This year it is my pleasure to welcome two new convenors to our fold Nikki Reynolds
(Dance) and Mi Jin Park (Piano and Instrumental).
I hope that both Convenors will be given the same support as their predecessors
Maureen Webley and Jill Quirke who between them given many years of support in
promoting their interest in the Performing Arts.)
To the Competitors, thank you for entering, teachers thank you for encouraging your
students to enter and to our loyal band of helpers a big thank you.
I hope that the experience and rapport that you gain during this period will be
enjoyable for all of you, performers and audience alike.
Alan Reekie

ADELE ROBERTSON, adjudicator
Adele Robertson received her musical education through the Bachelor of Music program at
the University of Calgary in her native Canada, achieving both a Major degree in Voice, and a
Minor degree in Piano. Subsequently she won a place at the London Opera Centre where
she gained her Diploma in Opera Performance after two years’ study. A private student of
Vera Rosza, she sang her debut recital at London’s Wigmore Hall. Her operatic debut was at
Sadlers Wells Theatre as Constanze in Mozart’s Abduction from the Seraglio.
After performing for several years in Britain, she returned to Canada and the US to continue
performing in opera, oratorio and concert, including recitals on the English and French CBC
radio network.
Adele was a founding member of Debut Opera in Calgary, a semi-professional company for
up-and-coming singers giving performances of mainstream operas and operettas. She was
soprano soloist with the Calgary Choral Society for several seasons. She then founded and
was Artistic Director of the Nelson British Columbia Opera. After nine seasons she moved to
Kelowna in British Columbia and became Director of the Kiwanis Musical Festival Eisteddfod.
Adele is a member of the Association of Teachers of Singing and National Association of
Adjudicators of Canada, and teaches both singing and piano.
Adele migrated to Australia in 2006 and became an Australian citizen in 2011. Since 2008
she has been much in demand as an adjudicator at competitions in Sydney and provincial
New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Tasmania and the Northern Territory.
ROSEMARY BARNES, official accompanist
Rosemary is one of New Zealand’s most respected resident collaborative pianists. Since
returning in 1993 from almost three decades in London, where she was on the Music Staff of
English National Opera and worked on over a dozen recordings for the Opera Rara label, she
has appeared in recital with many of our leading singers (Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, Dame
Malvina Major, Margaret Medlyn, Patricia Wright, Helen Medlyn, Carmel Carroll, Simon
O’Neill, Richard Greager, Barry Mora, Grant Dickson), and with numerous local and
international instrumentalists. She also gives many recitals every year with the younger
generation of performers
Teaching and coaching have always been a large part of Rosemary’s career. In London she
coached young singers and pianists at Morley College and the Royal College of Music, whilst
maintaining her own private studio of professional singers from all over the world. From
1993-99 she was director of the post-graduate opera diploma at the University of Auckland.
Nowadays she coaches advanced voice students at the University, as well as coaching the
Emerging Artists for New Zealand Opera. Rosemary is music director of Opera Factory (she
has several opera translations to her credit) and adjudicates voice and piano. In the 2000
Queen’s Birthday Honours she received an MNZM for her services to music.
