Christchurch pre-sales SOLD OUT – Door sales only
Our nationally selected choir of singers aged 18-25 is so excited to be returning to Christchurch, Westport and Greymouth. In the last few years this award-winning ensemble have toured the South Pacific, gone viral on Facebook, sung for the Prime Minister and had many events cancelled by the Pandemic. Now they’re rearing to get back on the road and celebrate the new year with new repertoire, new singers, but the same quality which kiwis have come to expect for their NZ Youth Choir.
It is always an honor to put the black uniform. These 50 singers have been selected from all over the country to represent New Zealand. The trophy cabinet at headquarters is full to the brim and includes the “world cup” of choir singing, the “Choir of the World” trophy won in 1999 in Wales.
This is your chance to see the choir on your home turf for one night only. Pack your whānau, bring your mates, this will be one glorious night out.

Since visiting Whangārei in 2019 we have toured the South Pacific, gone viral on facebook, sung for the Prime Minister, and had many events cancelled by the pandemic. So we are rearing to go, to celebrate the new year with new repertoire, new singers, but the same quality which kiwis have come to expect from their NZ Youth Choir.
These 50 singers have been selected from all over the country to represent New Zealand. The trophy cabinet at headquarters is full to the brim and includes the ‘world cup’ of choir singing, the ‘Choir of the World’ trophy won in 1999 in Wales.

Join us at the end of our first week! This is the first time the 2020-2022 NZ Youth Choir is meeting in person, and you’re invited to sit in on a rehearsal to see how our week has gone. A great opportunity for singers, conductors and music lovers to get behind-the-scenes with the choir.
Led by Musical Director David Squire, with Deputy Music Director Michael Stewart and Vocal Consultant Morag Atchison.
No on site car parking. Free entry.
The NZ Youth Choir will take the stage in the brand new Kāpiti Performing Arts Centre.
Fresh off their tour of the Pacific, the NZ Youth Choir will be bringing an amazing new repertoire to Kāpiti.
More details to come.
CANCELLATION: It is with great disappointment that we have to CANCEL our tour to Tauranga, Hamilton and Rotorua. Yesterday’s announcement and introduction of the alert level 2.5 for Auckland and Aucklanders defined a new expectation around Aucklanders’ travel to the regions and participation in mass gatherings.
With the majority of our singers being Auckland-based assembling the choir under a 2.5 level has become untenable. Ticket holders to our three concerts will be notified in the next few days and refunds offered.
NZYC singers and artistic team have very much looked forward to the music-making and community engagement this week, but we hope to return to the rehearsal spaces and stages soon when it is safe to do so.
Until then, stay well and safe.
