2009 Dunedin Heritage Festival |
| |
Dunedin, 20 - 23 March 2009 |
"Oyez, Oyez, Oyez" - The 2009 Dunedin Heritage Festival began with a roar this morning as commuters on the way to work in the central city witnessed a town crier, Invercargill's Gretchen Mark-Dear, heralding the beginning of the four day festival celebrating the city's art and literature inheritance.
Check out more highlights from other Heritage Festival events including;
Dunedin’s second Heritage Festival celebrates our city’s art and literature inheritance by using it as a springboard to stage some unique art and literary events. The 2009 Festival programme showcases many of our contemporary artists and writers, encourages participation from all ages in the community, and creates time and spaces for reflection on the great legacies the city has been left by many high achievers in the world of art and literature who have called Dunedin their home.

| Robbie Burns had some early morning company in the Octagon with Dunedin pipers positioned on the Writers Walk to herald in the Dunedin Heritage Festival 2009. The skirl of bagpipes and the flash of tartan also announced the 250th anniversary of Robbie Burns’ birthday.
At noon a massed choir of Dunedin schools assembled on the steps of St Paul's Cathedral in the Octagon to sing New Zealand's inspiring National Anthem In honour of Dunedin resident Thomas Bracken who, in the 1870’s, penned the words to God Defend New Zealand. |
| Later in the evening friends of Charles Brasch (1909-1973), poet and founding Editor for its first 20 years of the influential quarterly Landfall, and a patron of the arts recalled the man they knew at ‘An Evening with Charles Brasch’ at the University of Otago's Maramar Hall. Members of the group included Margaret Scott, Emeritus Professor Alan Horsman, writer OE Middleton (through a reading from his work) and Brasch’s literary executor Alan Roddick.
The legacy Dunedin received through Brasch’s generosity was explored by speakers including Emeritus Professor Lawrence Jones, and Dr Donald Kerr. Master of Ceremonies was Emeritus Professor Jocelyn Harris. Brasch was also a generous benefactor of the Otago Museum, the Hocken Collections, the University of Otago Library, and the Dunedin Public Art Gallery.
