The PACS Wind Ensemble rehearse Haydn Wood's 'Mannin Veen'  for their inaugural concert to be streamed on Facebook Live this Saturday at 3pm As part of their 20th anniversary celebrations and ahead of their latest 'InsideOut Digital' concert, this Saturday, Feb 6th, The Park Avenue Chamber Symphony (PACS) has launched its first new offshoot ensemble in its history, the PACS Wind Ensemble.

The New Zealand Embassy kicked-off the Veterans Day weekend in Washington, D.C. with its third tribute to America's armed forces on November 9, 2012. The benefit, featuring famed tenor Anthony Kearns and co-hosted by the Coalition to Salute America's Heroes, honoured two premier U.S. military charities, the USO and the Vietnam Veteran's Memorial Fund (VVMF).

The VIP musical wine reception on Thurs., October 20, 2011, hosted by the ONE Campaign at the Embassy of New Zealand in Washington, D.C. for the USO and Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund, was a triumphant success. This was the first time that the ONE Campaign teamed up with Irish Tenor Anthony Kearns for the USO, and the second time the New Zealand Embassy hosted Kearns for a military benefit. (The last time was Christmas 2010).
