Due to reasons, we’re being schmoozed by the NZSO. They’re holding an event at Loggy B’s, better known as Logan Brown, and we’re invited along. The two institutions have enjoyed a long association, and we’ve been to some of their events before.
It was an early start, so we set out to arrive by 5:30pm. In fact, we were little early as we found a park, if not quite Hollywood style, then at least Melrose. We wandered down Cuba Street to Logan Brown, and were greeted by Marc, who is the head honcho of the NZSO. He didn’t know us from Adam, of course, so after a brief hello he moved on to the next group arriving behind us.
We were offered wine, and LB staff walked around with canapés, which, being Logan Brown, were delicious and beautiful. We chatted a while with the NZSO marketing people, then I spotted Steve Logan and had a long talk with him. Then Nicola found the timpanist, Lawrence, who she knows through her other associations and we chatted with him for a while. Marc then tapped on a glass for silence, and delivered a short speech, followed by the lead flautist. Then we had a slightly more substantial food offering, hot-smoked salmon, terrine and other bits and pieces.
All jolly good fun and now that we’re on their list, who
know what else we’ll be invited to?
