Singer Ali Harper, and Guitarist Harry Harrison

On Saturday 7 June in the Lake Wanaka Centre at 7.30 pm, the Wanaka Concert Society and Chamber Music NZ will present a tribute to the extraordinary chemistry of Ella Fitzgerald and Joe Pass.

Ali and Harry will perform classics from the Great American Songbook, Misty, I Ain’t Got Nothing but the Blues, Stormy Weather and Ain’t Misbehavin’.   

Ali, singer, actor, producer, writer, MC, and singing coach, was awarded ‘Best Actress’ at New York’s United Solo Festival in 2014 and her one-woman show, Songs for Nobodies, was awarded ‘Best One Woman Show’ at New York’s United Solo Festival in 2018.   

Originally from Glasgow, Harry has worked throughout New Zealand and Australia with national and international artists such as Hayley Westenra, Dave Dobbyn, Bic Runga, Midge Marsden, and many more. 

Only now and then does one get to hear something special that delights and exceeds expectations like this did. - Bay of Islands Gold Club - 25 May 2025.
