..... following Toni's first TV interview on TV3.

Very interesting to hear that Toni has now been dubbed the 'Goth Hayley Westenra' and that she '....is going to be one of the best we have produced."

I found an article about NZ Pops Orchestra in the 'amplifier magazine', here si the part about Toni's concert:

As part of its mission to be accessible and inclusive of audiences and musicians alike, the NZPO has invited Toni Gibson, a young and rising singing star from the Kapiti Coast, to be a guest performer at the premiere.

The high-profile musician who has been appointed to the prestigious post of NZPO patron is music legend and MBE Gray Bartlett, who will perform in future concerts. Gray, who manages Toni Gibson's profile and career in New Zealand, sees a bright future for the young chanteuse, with a boost from performing with the NZPO and likens her to Hayley Westenra.

The wide-ranging appeal of the concert's programme will see timeless classics merged with popular music that everyone recognizes, through feature pieces from Brahms, Dvorak and Lehar to Elton John, Enya and The Moody Blues.

Nice words from Gray Bartlett!
I'm less than a year on the CCUK site and Toni was the first artist who captured my attention here, I didn't know about her before. I'm glad we can watch the news, all what is happening. I wish Toni great success on the concert! I will be watching news on that Wednesday.
