New Zealand Secondary Students’ Choir

Bringing their “infectious joy for music-making” New Zealand Secondary Students’ Choir (NZSSC) will perform their first full-length public concert of 2025 this September at Te Raukura ki Kāpiti, in the stunning Coastlands Theatre. Their repertoire is a wonderful mix of cultures - there really will be something for everyone!

“The repertoire we sing in this choir is so diverse and fresh. It’s not choral music as you’d expect. The choir is one of the best sounding in Aotearoa, and we have so much fun performing the pieces. Anyone who sings in choirs or just for fun as a hobby should come and hear us perform”– 2023-24 NZSSC singer.

The NZSSC has achieved considerable success since its formation in 1986. Bringing their “infectious joy for music-making” to the Kāpiti coast for the first time since 2022, you will see and hear exactly why the NZSSC has won titles such as 'Children's Choir of the World' at Llangollen Eisteddfod and embarked on 16 international tours, including Canada, Singapore, China, USA, South America, Australia and South Africa, during their almost 40 year existence!
 
Under the direction of Sue Densem, the NZSSC gathers our finest young voices (14–18) throughout Aotearoa and offers a once in a lifetime opportunity – a two-year membership that sees students learning from some of the country’s top choral teachers and composers, as well as performing throughout Aotearoa. The 2-year experience culminates in an exciting international tour in July of the 2 nd year, before singers part ways.

As with all their concerts, the repertoire for this Kāpiti concert will be a wonderful mix of cultures, featuring Māori waiata ā-ringa and Pasifika songs with a sprinkling of choral cannon plus some classics like you’ve never heard them before!
 
Bring the whole family for an evening of choral excellence and entertainment!
