A Rainey Day

Tom Rainey, whānau and friends perform jazz standards and favourite melodies to launch the 2026 Lunchtime Concert Series.
Whether conducting, composing, arranging or playing, Tom is a lynchpin of the musical landscape of Ōtautahi Christchurch and across the motu. As we return to the Great Hall stage for our 2026 lunchtimes, who better to launch the series than Tom and some of the finest musicians in the city? A great way to get the year started no matter the weather.

This concert is part of the Great Hall Lunchtime Concert Series 2026.

Discover a collection of musical gems - bite-size lunchtime concerts in the magnificent Great Hall, featuring renowned local, national and international musicians from classical, jazz, and popular traditions. View the full programme.
