The only instrument to match the orchestra itself in scale and grandeur of sound, its limits will be thrillingly pushed under the hands of maverick organist Cameron Carpenter. Known for his dramatically individualistic takes on classic organ repertoire, Carpenter revolutionises one of Bach’s greatest organ works: the iconic Toccata and Fugue in D Minor. His prodigious talents will be further showcased in Francis Poulenc’s Organ Concerto in G Minor.

  • Death of Former Principal, Anthony (Tony) Brough
    Death of former principal, Anthony (Tony) Brough We have recently learned of the death of former Principal Anthony (Tony) Brough, who died peacefully in Nelson in November, aged 89 years. He was Principal from 1990 – 1995. Tony, along with his wife Barbara, made a huge contribution to College life. They were well-liked and respected by teachers, parents, and students, and Tony’s tenure is a significant part of College history. Tony was the 13th Principal, the first lay Principal and the first principal to manage College House as a mixed hall of residence. He presided over CH as it grew through the addition of Hardie and Beadel houses. Our thoughts are with his family at this very sad time. CH Alumni are part of the team to win prestigious engineering award Last week, the NZ Transport Agency, KiwiRail and the North Canterbury Transport Infrastructure group (NCTIR) won the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) People’s Choice Award. This award celebrates the world’s top civil engineering projects and sets the benchmark for excellence in construction and design. It is decided by a public vote – truly reflecting what the local people who benefit from each project really think! We would like to congratulate CH alumni who have been part of the huge team working on this project – Rolly (David) Rowland (2004), Daniel Headifen (1995), Hannah Willis (nee Lord) (2010/11) and Frances Neeson (2005/06). NZ Transport Agency Regional Director Steve Mutton, chair of the NCTIR Board, said it was a collective effort that resulted in engineering excellence, and every crew member – past and present - should feel proud of themselves.

    Date: 14/06/2013 Wellington Town Hall 101 Wakefield Street Images: Charles Collins, 2015 1 Date: 14/06/2013 Summary of heritage significance • The Wellington Town Hall is arguably the greatest design by Joshua Charlesworth, one of the pre-eminent Wellington architects around the turn of the last century. The exterior has been modified as a response to both the 1931 Hawkes Bay and 1942 Wellington/Wairarapa earthquakes and the clock- tower, and much of the external ornament has been removed. The building is notable for its fine interiors, particularly the entrance, stairways and auditorium. The concert chamber has international recognition for its fine acoustic qualities – particularly for orchestral music. • The Town hall, with its concert hall, concert chamber and reception room, council chambers and municipal offices, have been a central to the governance and cultural life of Wellington for over 100 years. • The Wellington Town Hall is a landmark building that defines part of the southern boundary of Wellington’s Civic Square.
