  • Letters to the Editor

From David Urieli: Mahler Symphony #2

Hi Robin,

I just wondered whether you would put a plug in for this concert on 21st October in Napier Cathedral.  For my money it's the greatest piece of music ever written, and I think Jose will certainly do it justice.  They did it about 4 years ago and I was in the audience.  I thought it went way past being a concert and was closer to a deeply religious or mystical experience.

Jose Aparicio conducts the Napier Civic Choir, Project Prima Volta the Napier Orchestra and the various other groups participating in this piece.

I could also go on about how I have heard concerts in the Royal festival hall in London, Opera North (Northern England), Welsh National Opera - both outstanding, and many others and Jose can hold his own with any of these.

Cheers –

David Urieli

Ukraine - The Dynamics of Conflict
and the Chances for Peace

Wednesday, 26 October at 7:00 pm
in the Rudolf Steiner Centre,
401 Whitehead Road, Hastings

Talk by Herbert Wolpert,
Suggested Koha $10

The ongoing war in Ukraine is a topic which is of great concern for many people. The enormous suffering of thousands and thousands of people which is televised on the news on a daily basis led to strong empathies for the Ukrainian people.  The breach of the UN Declaration brings up concerns for the disrespect of treaties.  The role of western countries and their involvement raises big issues about their agendas and their secret actions. The further increase of intensification of this conflict and the recent threat of a possible nuclear war are creating an atmosphere of fear und unpredictability.  This complex situation manifests in many and often polarised discussions and debates. 

With a professional background in mediation, Herbert will share some insights of this crisis and its history.

He will also use Fritz Glasl’s concept of escalation of conflict* to deepen our understanding of this complex situation and the forces which are imminent and influencing all sides.

There will be space for sharing comments and raising questions.

Herbert is a senior partner of MIRA (www.miracompanions.co.nz) with 25+ years of experience in Organisational and Personnel Development, Mediation and Executive Coaching.  
He has worked extensively in Europe, Southeast Asia,
Africa and Australasia.  
Born and educated in Germany, Herbert resides part of the year in NZ.
