> The first Sparkling Duets happened in Wellington in 2005 with seven  
> couples performing a series of short musical sets. Many of the  
> performers already played in bands or had a musical background,  
> with Sparkling Duets offering the energies of their relationship a  
> new means for expression. As well as taking the particular  
> qualities and inter-personal dynamics of a romantic couple as a  
> space for performance, Sparkling Duets also responds directly to  
> the local music community, offering new musical combinations from  
> within a group of people who often already know each other or even  
> play together already in other bands. For others it is a chance to  
> perform, possibly for the first time, with the confidence and  
> support of someone close to them.

> Sparkling Duets, Christchurch will be the third instalment of this  
> ongoing performance project, following the 2006 New Plymouth  
> edition as part of the Govett-Brewster Art Gallery’s performance  
> series Mostly Harmless.
