Kiri concert
Sir,—l note in today’s issue of your paper that 46,000 tickets for the Kiri Te Kanawa concert have been issued by the B.N.Z. This concert looks to be becoming the single greatest musical event in the history of Christchurch. It will certainly be the largest single naudience to have heard the Christchurch Symphony Orchestra, indeed without the C.S.O. there would probably have been no concert. While it is gratifying to know that there are such a large number of music lovers in Christchurch it is worth pointing out that this audience would fill our Town Hall auditorium 23 times. If all those people
who attend the free Kiri concert were to make a New Year resolution that they would, in 1990, attend one (paid) performance in the Town Hall in which the C.S.O. is involved, then the orchestra, the choirs, and the Civic Music Council’s national concerto competition would all have full houses and their financial worries would be considerably alleviated.—Yours, etc., PETER D. BARTON, Chairman, Christchurch Civic Music Council. December 21, 1989.
