In addition to the articles we wrote about Justus Rozemond and the Youth Philharmonic Tauranga, we promised a portfolio of images taken by ARTbop photographer Lee Switzer during Rozemond’s interview with ARTbop’s Rosemary Balu at Le Chat Noir cafe, Greerton, Tauranga.
Rozemond is the Conductor of both the Bay of Plenty Symphonia and the Youth Philharmonic Tauranga – they are separate and contained orchestral entities. And now here are the engaging and diverse images of Justus Rozemond captured in conversation…..
ARTbop and Lee Switzer thank Justus Rozemond for his time and co-operation in creating this portfolio of images. The images have been selected for publication by the photographer, Lee Switzer.
Lee Switzer: Lee is a regular contributor to ARTbop – photo essays, articles and poetry. Lee is multi-talented producing sought-after images of local artists and exhibitions. He has been an archival photographer around Tauranga and the Bay of Plenty for some years – the details of this body of work are below. You can find examples of Lee’s contributions in our ARTbop WORDS archive. And watch this space – we’ve just received another contribution in Lee’s series of short stories – Chance Encounters – coming soon.
