Music
Hillhurst has a wonderful music program.
Our
music is a blend of traditional and contemporary, from Bach to Leonard
Cohen. It includes a talented Choir, which leads us in hymns and
delights us with anthems accompanied by our excellent pipe organ (one
of the few of its kind in the city!), piano, guitar and flute. The last
Sunday of every month we enjoy a more contemporary sound with a 5 piece
band and soloists.
Andreas
Berko
is the Director of our choir. Andreas is the Assistant
Principal
and music teacher at St John Fine Art School across the
street.
Andreas has directed church choirs at Southminster United and Living
Spirit as well as several other choirs in the city.
Andreas
brings his wife Kathryn, and their children Martina, Gabriel, and
Pearson.
