Music Centre of Christchurch
Music Centre of Christchurch, Concert hall in Barbadoes Street, Christchurch, New Zealand.
The Music Centre of Christchurch is a music school housed in historic buildings on Barbadoes Street that showcase Byzantine Revival design with ornamental details. The facility contains teaching spaces, rehearsal rooms, and performance areas for music education and instruction.
The centre was established in 1994 in buildings that once housed a religious order and school dating back to 1881. Following the 2011 earthquake, operations relocated to a new facility on Antigua Street.
The centre serves as a daily meeting place for music students and teachers across the city. It functions as a community hub where people gather to study and perform together.
Be aware that the original site on Barbadoes Street no longer operates following earthquake damage. The current facility on Antigua Street is where classes, rehearsals, and performances take place.
The chapel section of the original site displays a rare Byzantine Revival architectural style seldom seen in the Southern Hemisphere. This distinctive design makes the buildings notable examples of the style found outside Europe.
