The UC National Conservatorium of Music

Music Day at The Arts Centre

The University of Canterbury could be returning to its original home in central Christchurch and establishing a National Conservatorium of Music in a new purpose-built facility at the Christchurch Arts Centre.

The Music Day on Sunday 20 September provides the community with an opportunity to see and hear staff and students in action – studying, rehearsing and performing. This event is the first chance to hear Michael Endres, our new Professor of Piano, who has recently arrived from Germany, on stage.

Please join us for free public lectures, concerts, rehearsals and open lessons.
