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 jororussell[at]ihug.co.nz
