SingDownunder and the Christchurch Earthquake
Posted by Owen Sharpe · Leave a Comment
At 1pm (NZT) on Tuesday February 22nd Christchurch city centre was partially destroyed by a shallow earthquake almost directly underneath it. There is substantial loss of life and many major and historic buildings in the centre of town are partly or wholly destroyed. The destruction includes two of the beautiful choral venues, the Anglican Cathedral in Cathedral Square and the Catholic Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament that we sang in last year.
