Reach for the stars was performed in 2021 when we had a brief break from lockdowns.

Our Homeward Bound Concert was well supported by donations from the local community.  Thank you all who contributed to the success of this presentation.

The Bees Knees

Our mid-year concerts were very well received. There was something for everyone with music from Bach to the Bee Gees and a new work from our own Michael Bell. Guest artist and brilliant violinist Stan Bolton accompanied the choir and performed a beautiful piece composed by his daughter. Our amazing Musical Director Robyn Allen Gouge was her charming and very competent self, leading the choir to perform at their best.The concert was closed with excellent oratory from our President, Claire Hatherell thanking everyone in appropriate beautiful bantering "b"s.

Our November 2018 concerts commemorated the 100 year treaty, peace and Christmas all in one.  Hence, Poppies, Peace and Pohutukawas in the title.  The audience sang along to some favorites, and were entertained by our guest trumpeter, Stuart Craw and wonderful pianist, Michael Bell.

June 2018 was one of our very best and well supported concerts yet thanks to the expert leading of our new Musical Director, Robyn Allen Goudge.

The choir had the priviledge to sing to two full houses.  Well done to all our members, soloists and fanctastic performance by Michael Bell, guest pianist.

Our two concerts were well attended and was a fitting tribute to our retiring Music Director, Norman Firth.

We had two very sucessful concerts, thanks to all involved.

We had a wonderful two days at the Orewa Arts Centre, this year, presenting our Christmas Come In concert.

Thank you to all who made our recent concert such a success.

We performed the moving, Gloria by Vivaldi and then switched to performing works of local composers, Dr John Wells and Ken Leech, during the second half.  We concluded the concert with a medley from selected Gilbert and Sullivan musicals.
