The New Zealand Male Choir is performing at First Presbyterian Church, Invercargill with the Southland Girls’ High School ‘FEMME’ and Invercargill’s ‘The Ensemble’ Sunday 17th September at 2.30pm.
The joy of singing in a choral setting is what brings the New Zealand Male Choir, FEMME and The Ensemble together for an afternoon of music. The choirs will perform separately and together so you get to hear the widest variety of sound. They will present music from modern shows to opera, from African American spirituals to an old Irish air, from Billy Joel to Beethoven. This is a wonderful opportunity to hear mixed choral singing at its best.
The New Zealand Male Choir is an auditioned choir with over 40 members from Southland to North Auckland of which 34 will be on tour. Conducted by Hawkes Bay’s Joe Christensen, the Choir sing a range of music including classical, folk, waiata, gospel, operatic, popular, jazz, and contemporary.
The Choir have entertained audiences both nationally and internationally for the past 24 years including several tours throughout Europe, Australia, and Canada. The Choir practises with North Island and South Island groups meeting monthly and collectively meet for rehearsals/concerts three or four times a year. This will be the third concert in a four-concert tour around the lower South Island.
Men interested in joining the choir can make contact via the website or speak to any of its members at the concert.
Southland Girls’ High School 20 strong choir ‘FEMME’ are one of the 24 national finalists selected for the NZCF Big Sing National Finale. This incredibly talented group of performers will travel to Auckland to go up against the best in the country. To make the final 24 is no mean feat as nationally, they were competing against about 8,000 choristers and 220 school choirs from around New Zealand. Their selection was the result of hard work, talent, and commitment to the group. The Choir’s directors are Sarah Rae and Peter de Blois.
The Ensemble is a small adult mixed choir well known around Southland with a big reputation for giving quality performances.
