This evening Government House celebrated the arts in New Zealand with the people who help to make it possible for artists, writers and performers to develop their talent, create new works and make us think about who we are and where we are going.
Composer John Psathas spoke about the role that arts patronage had played in his career and Paula Morris was presented with the Katherine Mansfield Menton Fellowship. Musical interludes were provided by the NZSO String Quartet and bass Martin Snell sang arias, accompanied by Bruce Greenfield.
