We are so thrilled to share this exciting news with you...

It turned out to be just the nourishment I needed since returning to choir leading this year after a long break…

Kāpiti Community Choir Leader Shona McNeil reflects on the World Choir Games journey.

This is an opportunity to further develop the story, script and music alongside local artists such as a musical director, choreographer, script advisor and several musicians. We are fundraising towards the costs that help pay for the venue hire and to pay all artists living wage for their work.

I’m forwarding this to the Song Leaders' Network in the hope that with your support (small or large) we can partially fund the workshop without it being fully self-funded. After this workshop, we intend to have a full-scale production mapped out with the intention to apply to Wellington City Council and Creative New Zealand for larger funding. Our plan is to have a full-scale production possible within the next two years and premiere the show in Te Whanganui-a-Tara.

It feels good to win even when you are a runner up. Congratulations Wellington Community Choir on your success in the Arts and Culture section of the Wellington Airport Regional Community Awards 2024.

Being able to read music does not define whether you can sing or not. Reading music is a tool, a very useful tool but NOT the only tool to learn a song.

A wee taste of The World Choir Games 2024

We gather for our latest Lead In to celebrate together with purchase and intention over Matariki weekend.

How to follow your joy? A magical example with the cast of Sister Act 2.

Is it not a dream of a choir to flash mob and share the musical joy? Get in and get out. Oh the glee.

We can be the creative wave, be empowered to keep on keeping on, you are making a change for creative good, we are changing the tide, more people than ever believe in the power of arts, everyone should see the video in our blog and strengthen our community purpose to share the creative arts message across Aotearoa.

We danced, laughed, shared, supported each other, explored sounds and places, and ate delicious food. We visited large cities, rural areas, a hill station but singing in Soweto and Kayelitsha touched me deeply. South Africans love their music, love their singing and the variety of songs and dances are mesmerizing

Your committee has been busy finalising the details of this winter’s Lead-In gathering for Song leaders.

Spreading a lot of Gnome joy across CupaDupa

A response to a wonderful day of Bulgarian singing

What a complete joy to be in the audience, to bear witness and celebrate such vocal excellence. When men come together to sing the story of love and what that means to them.

There are some glorious workspaces and characters are afoot at Waihoanga Retreat. This will be made very cozy by winter and lovely fires and all of the workspaces.

Sixteen beautiful warm up resources available for you to play with.

It was clear from the start we were in the hands of an extremely competent, knowledgeable, practiced song leader and there is nothing more enjoyable than putting full faith in that experience. Settling in and enjoying the ride.

Beautiful research fresh from Australia on how our heart beats align when we are singing.
