Carol concert
The Christchurch Harmonic ■Society’s annual carol concert will be presented on Saturday December 7 in the Christchurch Town Hall at 7.30 p.m. A television personality, Oily Ohlson, of “After School” has been invited to take part and will present songs of his own and join in with children from the audience. Special items are also programmed for the Heaton Intermediate School Form H choir, and the Skellerup Brass Band. The audience will be able to participate in the singing of such carols as “Hark the Herald Angels Sing” and “O Come all ye faithful.” Among the carols to be sung by the Harmonic Choir are the favourites “We wish you a merry Christmas," and “In the Sky a Star,” a carol composed by a former choir member, Carl Smith.
The Skellerup Brass Band, under its conductor Mervyn Waters, will contribute a bracket of arrange-
ments of popular band pieces. These include Elgar’s' Pomp and Circumstance March No. 4, “Lara’s Theme” and “John Barleycorn.” The contribution to the concert by the Heaton Intermediate Form II choir consists of six carols conducted by Louise Richardson. These carols have an international flavour and include a Negro Spiritual, a Maori melody, a fourteenth-century Corinthian carol and the wellknown "Cowboy Carol.” The school’s Maori Club will dramatise the Maori melody, “Te Harinui.” A shortened performance of the carol concert will be given at 2.15 p.m. for the aged and disabled, as in previous years. The Kiwanis Club is arranging transport to the '’ Town Hall. The special free afternoon concert has been a regular feature of the Harmonic Society’s activities since 1960.
