Illuminate Your Spirit: Hamilton Civic Choir presents “Walking on Sunshine” as part of our Concert 2 Series, with special guest and award-winning choir from the USA joining us, Delaware Choral Scholars.

Get ready to be transported to a realm of musical splendour, as Hamilton Civic Choir proudly presents an unforgettable concert this July, including captivating performances by our esteemed guest choir.

Hamilton Civic Choir will perform a selection of choral masterpieces that will stir your soul and ignite your imagination. From the rhythmic intensity of Dan Davison's "Ritmo" to the celestial beauty of Randall Stroope‘s “Song to The Moon”, with the latter additionally accompanied by flute and oboe. Experience the timeless charm of Brahms' "Der Gang zum Liebchen" and the stirring power of Brent Stewart’s arrangement of "A Te Tarakihi" as well as many other pieces as we journey through a landscape of musical brilliance.

Joining us for this musical celebration, we are honoured to host the Delaware Choral Scholars, based at the University of Delaware in the USA. Having recently taken a big prize in Wales at the Llangollen Eisteddfod Competition, they are eager to be in New Zealand to compete in the World Choir Games in Auckland, and then join us in Te Awamutu for their farewell concert. Waikato audiences will be delighted with this opportunity to experience the choir’s vocal artistry and excellence.

Whether you're a seasoned choral enthusiast or a newcomer in the choral music scene, this concert promises an enchanting experience for all. Join us as we come together in harmony, celebrating the beauty and international friendship of music that enriches our lives.
