NZ Male Choir in concert with Wellington Male Voice Choir

Experience the magic of male voices

The New Zealand Male Choir is performing at Queen Margaret College, 53 Hobson Street, Wellington with the Wellington Male Voice Choir on Saturday 14th September 2024, 7.00pm.

The joy of singing in a choral setting is what brings the New Zealand Male Choir and the Wellington Male Voice Choir together for an evening of music. The choirs will perform separately and jointly so you get to hear a good variety of sound. This is a wonderful opportunity to hear full male choral singing at its best and a concert New Zealand Male Choir members have long been waiting for.

The New Zealand Male Choir is an auditioned choir with over 40 members from Southland to North Auckland. 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. They have just returned from a successful tour of Europe, with six concerts in Singapore, Nördlingen, Innsbruck, Marostica, Florence and Rome, plus attending the four day Alta Pusteria Music Festival where an additional six performances were given. It is understood the NZ Male Choir was the first New Zealand choir to attend this prestigious festival held in the Italian Dolomites. The Choir practises with North Island and South Island groups meeting monthly and collectively meet for tours or concerts three or four times a year.

The guest artist will be the Wellington Male Voice Choir. They are in their 63rd year. Wellington Male Voice Choir are led by Mark Stamper who hails from South Carolina, USA. He is well qualified as a choral director and in addition has a Bachelor of Music Degree in Piano Performance. Mark arrived in New Zealand in 2015 and was appointed Musical Director in 2019. 

This is the first time both choirs have performed together and are looking forward to entertaining Wellington and give the promise of an enjoyable and memorable evening of music and song.
