Friends of the Christchurch Town Hall Organ Trust presents “Happy Anniversaries”- Martin Setchell annual organ curator’s concert on Monday 6th June 2022, 2.00 p.m. to 3.15 p.m. approximately at Douglas Lilburn Auditorium, Christchurch Town Hall, Kilmore Street, Christchurch
FREE but registration required at nzorgan.com
Martin’s annual organ curator’s concert on the magnificent pipe organ in the Douglas Lilburn Auditorium at the Christchurch Town Hall is a special one this year as it marks several anniversaries.
Most importantly, it’s 25 years since the Rieger organ was first opened after completion in May 1997.
It’s being held on Queen’s Birthday Monday, also celebrating Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum jubilee; in February this year she became the first British monarch to complete 70 years of service to the people of the United Kingdom, the Realms and the Commonwealth. Martin will include a special organ arrangement of Handel’s famous Coronation Anthem “Zadok the Priest”.
The great French composer Céesar Franck was born 200 years ago in 1822, so the programme will also include Franck’s most popular work, the Chorale No 3 in A minor.
Finally, the concert will also mark Martin’s 26th year of service to Christchurch as its Town Hall organ curator.
Lots to celebrate! And as usual, it’s free, but online registration will be required on the website.

CBS Music presents "Be Joyful" Bach Cantata 30 & Mozart "Haffner" Symphony 35
2022-06-12 14:00 - 15:15 | Catholic Pro-Cathedral, 373 Manchester Street Christchurch Central, Christchurch, 8013, New Zealand
CBS Music presents “Be Joyful” Bach Cantata 30 & Mozart “Haffner” Symphony 35 on Sunday 12th June 2022, 2.00 p.m. to 3.15 p.m. at Catholic Pro-Cathedral, 373 Manchester Street, Christchurch
Pricing: $15.00 & $10.00
“Be Joyful” is the theme of a concert in the Catholic Pro-Cathedral on Sunday, June 12, at 2 pm, when the CBS Choir and Orchestra present two major works inspired by festival celebrations.
Bach’s Cantata 30 is suitably titled “Be Joyful” (Freue dich). It is a mature, large-scale work, with delectable solo arias framed by jubilant opening and closing choruses. He wrote it for performance in Leipzig on St John’s Day, a public holiday still observed in several countries on June 24 as a Feast Day, originally intended to supplant pagan rites celebrating the June solstice.
As in Bach’s time, the soloists will be drawn from the choir. They include Olivia Webb, Louisa Pilkington, Wally Enright, and Ken Joblin. Natalia M. Lomeiko leads the orchestra, with continuo played by Janet Cubey and Grant Bartley. The musical director is Don Whelan.
Mozart’s “Haffner” Symphony No. 35 has been popular with audiences since its first performance in Vienna, when the applause was led by a delighted emperor. It takes its name from a Salzburg family which commissioned instrumental music to serenade the ascent to nobility of the son of a former mayor who had helped finance the Mozart’s early European tours. He had had already commissioned incidental music, now known as the Haffner Serenade, for a sister’s wedding. Those festivities inspire a country dance minuet and an elegant, melodious andante, but the symphony begins and ends with Mozart’s happiest and most energetic fast movements, which he instructed to be played “as fast as possible”.
The concert will end with peals of Alleluias in Mozart’s Regina Coeli, an exuberant work for choir and orchestra originally written for the festive season of Easter.
Another Christchurch Choral Festival is planned for August 21, at 3 pm.
In place of the usual Haydn symphony and Mass, the CBS choir, orchestra and soloists intend to perform his oratorio The Creation at 2 pm on Sunday 2 October, to mark the beginning of a new chapter for their cathedral music in Christchurch. They also hope to tour to Kaikoura, Blenheim and Nelson over Show Weekend, but all musical planning will continue to be conditional on the public health situation.
Handel’s Messiah will be performed at 1.30 pm on Sunday, 11 December.
CBS concludes their year with Weber’s “Jubilee” Mass in G Major at Christmas Midnight Mass.

Resonance Ensemble presents "Myths and Legends"
2022-06-29 15:00 | The Piano, 156 Armagh Street, Christchurch, 8140, New Zealand
Resonance Ensemble presents “Myths and Legends” on Wednesday 29th June 2022, 3.00 p.m at The Piano, 156 Armagh Street, Christchurch
Music by Dvorak and Prokofiev
Soprano Soloist: Helen Charlton
Christchurch’s innovative and unique orchestra Resonance Ensemble conducted by Tony Ryan brings another colourful and appealing programme to the stage of The Piano on Sunday 19 June at 3.00pm.
Dvořák’s Rusalka and Prokofiev’s Lieutenant Kijé are two of music’s quintessential myths and legends.
Rusalka is Dvořák’s best-known opera and brings Slavic mythology vividly to life in the tale of a water nymph who longs to become human and does so with tragic results. The opera’s famous Song to the Moon is among the most loved of all operatic arias. Soprano Helen Charlton sings this wonderful piece, along with the equally well-known Songs My Mother Taught Me from Dvořák’s Gypsy Songs.
Dvořák’s popular Slavonic Dances reflect the pagan beliefs and superstitions of Czech folklore. These dances are full of vitality, colour and energy, and Resonance Ensemble has chosen three from each of the two sets as companions to the two vocal gems by Dvořák.
Prokofiev’s music for the 1934 Soviet film Lieutenant Kijé is typical of the composer’s quirky, original and engaging style. The film, set in the early nineteenth century, tells the story of an army officer, Lieutenant Kijé, who is invented as a scapegoat by court officials of the Tsar in order to deflect blame for their own mistakes. Things get a little tricky for the officials when the Tsar insists on meeting Kijé, and so they finally have to invent the story of his heroic death in battle.
Later in 1934 Prokofiev rewrote his Lieutenant Kijé film score as a five-movement concert suite. Two of these movements feature an optional vocal part which is rarely performed, but Resonance Ensemble, always looking to find something a bit different and unusual, is performing the version with singer, once again featuring the wonderful Helen Charlton as soloist.
Adults $25.00/$20.00, Child $5.00
