Van Leer at Fair
Thijs Van Leer, whose flute playing was the driving force behind the Dutch band Focus, will be the star attraction at Music Expo, a trade fair in Auckland this month, running from July 24 to 29. The fair, which is organised by the Music Trades Association, is usually an industry affair held in Rotoura. However, this year the venue has been moved to Auckland and every effort is being made to involve the public. Van Leer is coming from Holland for the fair and will play music in a rock, jazz and classical context. Schtung and Hello Sailor, making their final appearance before their American trip, will feature with Van Leer in a rock concert at the Town Hall. The instruments and amplification equipment go on display on Thursday July 27, but in the days leading up to the official opening there will be an all-Mozart concert by the Symphonia of Auckland, the rock concert with Schtung, Sailor and Van Leer, and a jazz concert featuring the Bruce Morley Little Big Band and Van Leer. Van Leer will also perform with the Symphonia on Saturday July 29 in a finale concert. Juan Matteucci will conduct.
