This month’s Fine Tune features a video clip of the first rehearsal for FilCoro and Wellington Young Voices for the Triple C concert – hitting it off from the first note!
Also an interview with Auckland Alto, and NZYC ‘newbie’, Te Ohorere Williams.
We are proud to announce the launch of our new Choirs Aotearoa and NZ Youth Choir websites!

Ok, so not only are we parked up overlooking the stunning sights of Queenstown, the NZ Youth Choir have been rehearsing in the building next to us. THEN today they came out to show their support for the #Stopthebusnz film project (about how we can value our children of Aotearoa).
The NZ Youth Choir took our breath away by singing Ka Waiata in support of our kaupapa – a beautiful Māori hymn which celebrates Mary, mother of Jesus and her role as a mother to many future generations.
Huge thanks to you all and Emma for organising.
Highly recommend checking these guys out in concert if you get the opportunity.

Composer and conductor Eric Whitacre has inspired millions by bringing together “virtual choirs,” singers from many countries spliced together on video. Now, for the first time ever, he creates the experience in real time, as 32 singers from around the world Skype in to join an onstage choir (assembled from three local colleges) for an epic performance of Whitacre’s “Cloudburst,” based on a poem by Octavio Paz. Check it out here.
