Dinner and a Show: Nathan Haines Quartet

Overview

Instead of having to scoff down your creme brûlée and rush off to that impending gig, Britomart’s Ostro are bringing the entertainment table-side for a full-blown dining experience.

On the second Sunday of the month from June to September, the establishment are inviting a selection of top local musicians to perform intimate concerts while you dine. Matter-of-factly named 'Dinner and a Show', each event will be split into two halves. The waterfront perched Ostro Brasserie will set the scene for dinner and the first set, before the second round takes place across the other side of the building in the more relaxed City Terrace.

MasterChef judge and Michelin-starred chef Josh Emett will work his magic in the kitchen, putting together a three-course menu for each event, and one of the dishes will be co-designed by the performer of the night.

Jazz will be on the menu when renowned saxophonist and composer Nathan Haines plays the third outing of Ostro's 'Dinner and a Show'. Coming from a well-known jazz family, Haines studied the genre further in New York and found his own style with a love of hip hop/jazz fusion. His debut solo album Shift Left was the biggest selling NZ recorded jazz album of all time when it was certified gold in 1994. Last year Haines released his tenth solo album, 5 A Day, which saw him collaborate with beat-makers Marc Mac and P-Money .

Tickets for the whole package are $150, while the City Terrace show will set you back $25. Bookings essential please call +64 9 302 9888 or email reservations@seafarers.co.nz
