Sir Jon Trimmer Arts Scholarship Fundraiser
Southward Theatre, Paraparaumu, Kapiti Coast
FRI 24 MAY 7:00 P.M. - 9:00 P.M.
Hosted in memory of legendary New Zealand dancer and Kāpiti local, Sir Jon Trimmer, this fundraising concert will feature a fascinating range of performers from Ray Woolf, Andrew London, Sam Manzana, Paraparaumu College guitarist Joel Mitchison, the local Sweet Studios Dance School, singers from Paraparaumu College and dancers from the New Zealand School of Dance. All proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to Nikau Foundation’s Sir Jon Trimmer Scholarship Fund, which will offer transformative opportunities for local Kāpiti performing and visual arts practitioners long into the future. Facilitated by the Creative Kapiti Trust, these scholarships will ensure that Sir Jon’s generosity, inspiration and encouragement for other performing and visual artists will continue to be felt for generations to come. A big thank you to Southward Car Museum, all performers and back of house, who have so kindly offered their time, expertise and resources to bring these concerts alive.
