Wow! A FREE concert, every year!
Thanks to the generous support of the Christchurch Town Hall venue management company, Vbase, the June 1st concert in town hall (the ‘Curator’s Concert’) will become an annual event, FREE to the public and promoted by the Friends of the Christchurch Town Hall Organ Trust. This year’s concert happens to be the major event of an Organ Festival arranged by the New Zealand Organ Association which brings organists nationwide together over Queen’s Birthday weekend each year.
Organ curator Martin Setchell will introduce and play a programme of entertaining music featuring arrangements for organ: Starwars (John Williams), Sabre Dance (Khachaturian), Vocalise (Rachmaninoff) as well as more traditional organ music by Bach, Gigout and Louis Vierne (Carillon de Westminster, anyone?). Make the most of this huge step forward in the life of the organ in our Christchurch town hall by coming along. Bring a friend or two, and introduce them to this superb instrument!
Time: 1.10pm, Monday June 1st, 2020. Details about admission (no reservations possible, but tickets from Eventbrite will be necessary. Seating will be strictly limited)
