To celebrate the parish’s 150th Anniversary St Luke’s Church and the St Luke’s Community Trust invites the Christchurch community to enjoy a series of monthly Sunday concerts, featuring local and international artists.
All concerts will be at 2.00 pm unless otherwise advised. Several of the concerts will feature the church’s fine 100-year-old Norman and Beard organ, to celebrate the centenary year of this 'grand old lady'.
Admission is $15/$10 (unless otherwise stated), which includes refreshments with the artists afterwards.
Everyone is welcome! Please support these concerts and tell your friends.
