Wellington Cathedral Choir: Celebrate the Music

• Date: 22/07/2026 17:30 - 18:30
• Location: Wellington Cathedral of St Paul
• Tickets: Free

Michael Stewart, Director of Music at Wellington Cathedral of St Paul, has been a leading figure in New Zealand’s church music for many years. His career began when he was a young chorister at Nelson Cathedral, and he’s been at the forefront of New Zealand’s church music ever since.
As the Cathedral’s Director of Music, deputy conductor of the award-winning New Zealand Youth Choir and conductor of Wellington’s acclaimed Tudor Consort, Michael has experienced significant changes in church music over recent years. Not surprisingly, he has much to say about these developments and can also reveal some interesting stories about former directors of Cathedral music since Old St Paul’s closed in 1964.
This is the latest talk in the series 'Art @ the Cathedral' presented by the Friends of Wellington Cathedral.
