Festival Singers is a Wellington-based
community choir with a 33 year history and practice of seeking to work
alongside the Christian church. Public concerts include large classical
works – oratorios, cantatas and masses, as well as smaller pieces from all
over the world.
The choir chooses to support local
composers and exposes exciting new repertoire by regularly performing New
Zealand compositions. In 2007 we recorded and released a CD of New Zealand
music called Spirited People featuring Irish folk band, piano accordion
and soloists. Music by Jonathan Berkahn and Colin Gibson was especially
featured along with some New Zealand poetry selections.
The choir sings in local church services
and provides music for weddings, funerals and other events several times a
year. If you are a singer currently missing out on the joy of regular
singing and would like to join a friendly, energetic group of singers,
please talk to a choir member today or email our Director at
