Partnering with New Zealand Youth Choir means aligning with a 'boutique-feel' organisation that has reached iconic status in the country.

The New Zealand Youth Choir is an award-winning choir with a near 40-year long tradition. NZYC gave its first public performance on Saturday 25 August 1979 at St Peter’s Church in Wellington. Almost 20 years later the choir stood on stage in front of 5,000 people in the small Welsh town of Llangollen to receive the award for ‘Choir of the World’. There is an impressive alumni of nearly 1,000 singers. The singers go on after their NZYC turn and create a legacy for New Zealand. Some turn into singing stars, like Jonathan Lemalu, Teddy Tahu Rhodes, Anna Leese or the three Sol3Mio performers. Many go on to be music teachers sharing their skill and passion with thousands of students (from primary school level to universities), or direct and conduct dozens of community choirs from Dunedin to the Hawkes’ Bay, Wellington to Hamilton. Others translate their confidence into careers as doctors, engineers or, like Hilary Barry, media personality (interview in Sunday Star Times: Hilary talks about her time in NZYC: ..” one of the best experiences of my life”).
