Performers put on a special show to celebrate 100 years of the department of music at the University of Otago.

The piece they performed at Marama Hall on the university campus on Saturday was Make  Our Garden Grow   from Leonard Bernstein’s Candide.

Prof Terence Dennis said there was a strong turnout and a good atmosphere at the concert, where a selection of staff, guests and some senior students performed.

“We just felt that [it] was an important 100  to celebrate with a special concert,” he said.
