Rimmer At 80

One of Cheryl’s lecturers from Auckland University, John Rimmer, celebrated his 80th birthday this year and The Karlheinz Company, which specializes in contemporary music performance at the university, honoured him with a programme of his music and some by a few of his former students. Cheryl was asked to compose a short piece (up to one minute) for this event. The finished piece, “What John Said” was performed on the night by soprano Te Ohorere Williams accompanying herself on balloon. The concert was reviewed by William Dart in the New Zealand Herald, and Cheryl’s song got a mention as you see in the screenshot. You can read the entire review here

Update December 30th: The performance has appeared on the SOUNZ YouTube Channel now, as part of its “Rimmer at 80” series: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbUO14Z6nGc
