CATCH THE RISING STARS
11
A talented line-up of artists – many of whom are recipients of funding from the Dame Malvina Major Foundation – were either studying or enjoying successful careers internationally and are now back here awaiting the end of lockdown. The Isaac Theatre Royal has been particularly adversely affected by Covid-19. Now more than ever, we need to support this iconic theatrical venue; a spiritual heart of Canterbury’s art scene. Dame Malvina’s foundation supports young performing artists who are struggling with an unknown future despite years of dedication to their art form. Experience a wonderful variety concert which shares a showcase of exceptional talent. 11 October, The Isaac Theatre Royal, isaactheatreroyal.co.nz
