Open Day: Futuna Chapel

Futuna Chapel in Karori will host an open day, a chance to experience the wonder of the chapel. Beginning at 11am on Sunday 31 March, the chapel will resonate with music and then host a public talk about the work of John Scott.

The chapel designed by architect John Scott in the early 1960’s, has long been celebrated as one of New Zealand’s most significant buildings of the twentieth century. It is regarded as a brilliant essay in geometry and coloured light, as well as for the way it draws on Scott’s Māori heritage.

2pm-3pm: Musical performance: Karen Batten & Ingrid Bauer: Flute and harp duos
