12 top Secondary School Choirs in Concert.
The Big Sing is New Zealand’s largest choral event and has been successfully run by The New Zealand Choral Federation for over 25 years. Around 250 - 270 secondary school choirs, comprising some 10,000 singers, enter regional competitions held in ten centres around the country, with the top 24 choirs being selected for the National Finale and a further 36 choirs for Cadenza – 12 choirs to each of the 3 Cadenza’s.
The Big Sing Cadenza will take place over two days in three centres, blending a formal, adjudicated competition with combined workshops and culminating in a Gala Concert. Whanganui has been again chosen to host the Lower North Island choirs qualifying for this event as it did for the inaugural event in August 2019.
The Singquistion Choir from Nga Tawa Diocesan School in Marton, directed by David Tipi, has been selected to take part along with 11 other choirs from Palmerston North, East Coast, Wellington, and New Plymouth. The choirs’ pieces are wide-ranging in style, from jazz, gospel and pop through to folk and Classical music.
At the Gala Concert on Saturday night each choir will showcase an item from their Cadenza repertoire and a massed choir of over 307 voices will come together to perform at the end of the evening.
