Due to the earthquake and the sad demolition of the Christchurch Music Centre we are now running our meetings in members homes on the 3^rd Wednesday of each month.

Our AGM will be held on Wednesday 21^st March at Helen’s place 132 Sutherlands Road, Halswell at 7:30pm.  The meeting will be followed by our music sharing meeting.    

Our membership form has been updated and we welcome all new and old members to join us or go on our emailing contact list for Music and Movement events in Christchurch.

This year we are planning a workshop in June and we will be celebrating our 20^th Anniversary.

Singing For The Spirit - Selwyn House School Atrium - Saturday 16th July

Discover the joy of community singing.  Julian Raphael, director of the Wellington Community Choir, will guide participants through a selection of songs from the world’s cultures to enliven and nourish the soul.
Beginning with gentle, but stimulating warm-up songs and chants, inexperienced singers will soon ‘find’ their voice and before long we will all be singing together in parts.  This sing-shop is open to people of all ages and abilities and will aim to provide everyone with an enjoyable and uplifting experience.

$10 per person payable on the day.
Please bring your own lunch.
Tea, coffee and snacks provided.
