Help support New Zealand’s finest young singers and indulge in a rich and innovative Christmas experience!

 

We begin in the deep winter with Velja Tormis’ striking Autumn Landscapes and Philip Stopfords Lully, Lulla, Lullay, unfurling into the awakening spring through Paul Mealor’s Now Sleeps the Crimson Petal and Reena Esmail’s The Unexpected Early Hour. The programme bursts into the festive summer season with classics including by Eric Whitacre, Dobrinka Tabakova, and Felix Mendelssohn. This concert also centres local composers, including Igelese Ete, Anthony Ritchie, and Reuben Rameka.

 

We are thrilled to be touring Asia and Europe in 2025, including representing New Zealand at the European Choir Games in Denmark and Choir of the World competition in Wales. All proceeds will go towards establishing an equity-based hardship fund to ensure that no singer is left behind due to financial strain! 

This event is hosted by the Lower North Island section of the New Zealand Youth Choir.
