Two of our premier choirs, Kentoris and the all boy choir, Menasing, are excited to be competing in the Big Sing National Finals later this week. This is the first year that two of our choirs have been selected at this level and we are proud of their achievement.

Over the course of three days, beginning on Thursday, each choir performs two full recitals in front of the judges and then come together en masse for a Gala Concert and Award Ceremony on Saturday night in the Town Hall. Over the course of the competition, there is a live web stream on the NZ Choral Federation website: http://live1.r2.co.nz/20140821/

If you can’t be there in person, listen in!

If you can be there to support the choirs, they would really appreciate it. As a warm up, Menasing are performing two recitals at a lunchtime concert at the Auckland City Library on Thursday between 12.10-1pm. Pop in if you work in the city!

Good luck to both our choirs - sing well!
