Town Hall organ

homepage

May 17

1997

Final Night!
Inauguration of the
Rieger organ,
Town Hall, Christchurch,
New Zealand
The opening night programme is here

Saturday evening, and again a capacity audience fills the hall

Members of the Christchurch City Choir, with Martin Setchell at the organ

Managing director of Rieger Orgelbau, Herr Christoph Glatter-Götz. . .

. . . with works manager of Rieger, Herr Wendelin Eberle, the next morning, checking that all is well before they leave for Austria and say farewell to the instrument they have worked on for 6 and a half years.

And so, farewell.

Well, not quite. See how the festivities end, for some of us...
