Patrick Hansen - in Christchurch Youth Orchestra

Brendan Biggs —

The Christchurch School of Music advised in May that Patrick Hansen (Year 12) had attained a position in the University of Canterbury, Christchurch Youth Orchestra for 2016. Many professional musicians have begun their career performing in this orchestra which is the flagship orchestra of the Christchurch School of Music and has recently been sponsored by the University of Canterbury. The auditions for this orchestra started at the end of 2015 and continued until the end of February this year. The standard of students auditioning was extremely high.
