Harmony Spectacular! Saturday 10th September
A fabulous concert featuring quality singing by some of New Zealand's best choruses and quartets! The Waikato Rivertones are this country's champion women's chorus and have also had considerable international success. Mighty River Harmony is one of the best men's choruses, and home to the highly entertaining quartet "The Usual Suspects".
We have been lucky to secure for the programme New Zealand's gold medal winning women's quartet, the amazing "Unlimited".
The four-part harmony style of these groups requires precise timing and tuning, and it has been years since we have been able to assemble such an impressive line-up in the Waikato. The concert is being held in Waikato University's Gallagher Academy of Performing Arts, a venue with superb acoustics.
Saturday 10th September, 7pm. Limited tickets available from chorus members and from Ticketek.

What would you do if it was your job to fix Hamilton's CBD?
More alcohol restrictions, more lighting, busking rule changes and a whole lot of lobbying - these are some ways Hamilton leaders want to sort out the CBD.
Crime and anti-social behaviour in the area has been in the spotlight after recent news of a man defecating in the street near a city pub and another who flipped tables out the back of a bar after being found scrounging cigarette butts and asked to leave.
