Orchestra strikes a chord in Christchurch
There were beautiful tunes and stunning views when the orchestra came to Queenstown.
Residents and guests of Arvida Queenstown Country Club retirement community enjoyed a musical performance from the Christchurch Symphony Orchestra (CSO) recently.
Expertly led by CSO Assistant Concertmaster, Sarah McCracken, a hand-selected quintet of woodwind and strings serenaded and entertained over 200 people (residents and locals), in the village clubhouse. The musicians had picked a selection of classical and more contemporary pieces of music for the crowd of over-65s.
The quintet of musicians then went on to engage with residents living in the Care Centre where they presented some musical exercises and fun. Christchurch Symphony Orchestra has had a long-standing partnership with Arvida for many years now and musicians regularly entertain residents in Arvida’s Christchurch retirement communities.
