More than 150 community choristers gathered in New Farm on Saturday, November 8 to sing to and for each other.
It was a magnificent and entertaining afternoon. A time cherish by the conductors who coordinate the event which culminates a year of supporting each other to lead community choirs.
Te Tira performed beautifully and there was certainly a lot of love in the air, for the songs and each other. A special group of people.
if you would like to be part of something like this, then why not come along and “try us on for size?”

Our third term for 2014 is underway. We have a number of songs that have reached the polishing stage and Kiri has some new material in the wings ready to go.
We’ve almost nailed:
Hine E Hine – a Maori lullaby written in 1907 by Princess Te Rangi Pai
Love Is Born – by Australian composer and choral director Rachel Hore OAM
Walking Song – another Aussie composer Andrea Watson
And a work in progress is choir director Kiri Waiata’s One Step Forward
Why not come along and join in the harmony and fun?!
