Christchurch Memorial - Rutter's Requiem

The peace of our Muslim friends, neighbours, and fellow New Zealanders was shattered on Friday 15 March. As Muslims in Christchurch gathered to pray in peace, hatred and violence were poured out against them. Fifty lives were lost; many more prayer-goers were injured. Families, neighbourhoods and communities were changed forever.

It is the feeling of many local musicians that they wish to respond in some way. Tauranga choirs are joining together for two free community performances.

There will be an opportunity to donate to the "Our People, Our City" initiative set up by the Christchurch Foundation.
