When the serious finds the rock 'n' roll - 29 October

from Ngā Pātaka Kōrero - Auckland Libraries · host Auckland Libraries

On Thursday October 29, pianist Camila de Oliveira presented a programme called "When the serious finds the rock "n" roll". She performed a selection from Scriabin’s set of Etudes opus 8 (no's 2,5,8) which was written in 1894, two years after he graduated from the Moscow Conservatory. The set of etudes is composed with a very romantic style which demonstrated Scriabin’s devotion to Chopin. This is contrasted with a work by New Zealander composer Jenny McLeod.. Rock Sonata no. 2 was commissioned for Rae de Lisle by the Queen Elizabeth II Arts Council (now Creative New Zealand) with the assistance of the New Zealand Composers' Foundation (now APRA). The composer has generously authorised Auckland Libraries to podcast this work.

Ghibliotheque - A Podcast About Animation and Studio Ghibli Michael Leader, Jake Cunningham & Steph Watts Welcome to the Ghibliotheque, the podcast that leafs through libraries of films from the world’s greatest animation studios.In 2018, Michael Leader, an avowed Studio Ghibli fanatic, sat down with Jake Cunningham, who had never seen any of the Studio’s work before. Together they looked at the history behind Ghibli's films (including Spirited Away, My Neighbour Totoro and Princess Mononoke), and got a critical perspective from Jake as a first-time viewer. They covered all of Studio Ghibli's films, visited Japan on the ultimate Ghibli pilgrimage, and have since interviewed artists, animators and filmmakers who have either worked on or have been deeply inspired by Ghibli's films. With their co-host Steph Watts, they have also branched out to cover filmographies of other studios and filmmakers whose work has revolutionised animation, from Satoshi Kon and Mamoru Hosoda to Cartoon Saloon and Henry Selick.Where will we go next?
