Schola Cantorum in Hampden

I give you advance notice of a visit to Hampden of the Schola Cantorum of Christchurch and the Canterbury-Otago Consort of Viols.

They will spend the weekend of May 12th and 13th testing the acoustics of the Presbyterian Church in London Street, winding up the weekend with an all-in-together "Sing In".

This is a unique opportunity to hear a unique style of music, a style rarely heard in New Zealand.

The event will be themed on "John Hampden, - His Tymes, His Music".

Mr Ken Bridge will help fill in the weekend with a discourse on John Hampden, after whom our village is named. Was he a ratbag, or was he a patriot?

Any further information, contact Trevor - 4394 887, or Alison - 4394 824, or members of the Presbyterian Church and Community Cultural Centre Committee.
