Changing Seasons
27 March 2021, 7.30pm
Aldersgate Centre
As autumn’s seasonal change brings about warmer colours outdoors, enjoy a cosy evening inside with us at the recently opened Aldersgate Centre.
Christchurch City Choir along with conductor Dr John Linker, organist Jeremy Woodside and members of Addington Brass join to celebrate the work of Haydn, Beethoven, Shearing, and Rutter as part of the Choir’s 30th Anniversary year. Works featured include Rutter’s Gloria, movements from The Seasons by Haydn, Beethoven’s Hallelujah (from Christ on the Mount of Olives) and Shearing’s setting of Songs and Sonnets of Shakespeare.
Tickets available now from Eventfinda.
About Addington Brass
Addington Workshops Brass Band was formed in 1883 for the enjoyment of Railway employees. The band went into recess at the beginning of the first world war as many of its members volunteered for service. Re-established after the second world war the band had an association with the Addington Workshops for in excess of 100 years with name changes including Railfreight Addington Brass, and Tranzrail Addington Brass. In 2001 Addington Brass merged with Christchurch City Brass (formerly NZ Fire Service Band, Christchurch Fire Brigade Band, Christchurch Municipal and Christchurch Tramways Band – originally formed after the first world war).
The Band is involved a wide range of public activities including Community Christmas Carols at Riccarton Bush, Anzac Day Service at the Papanui RSA, Christchurch City Council Riverside Café Brass, RNZAF Wigram Retreat Ceremony, Canterbury Provincial Band contests and NZ National Band contests.
We are a diverse group, ranging in age from 14 to 67. We currently rehearse in our own Band room in Vulcan Place, on Monday and Thursday. We have a small learning group that we would like to add to – for information email committee@addingtonbrass.com
