In 2026, the popular West City Music Summer Camp will include a choral stream for the very first time!
The programme is designed for singers who will be in Year 9-13 in 2026 and caters to a wide range of abilities.
For choral participants, some musical literacy or confidence with using your voice is an advantage - but enthusiasm is the most important thing!
The choral stream will explore a diverse range of music, from classical and contemporary choral works to musical theatre and Pasifika repertoire.
We’re thrilled to have a very experienced team of tutors leading the choral stream:
🎵 Rachel Alexander Sutherland (Stream Lead) – A highly regarded choral director, vocal specialist, and educator, Rachel has worked extensively with school and community choirs and previously served as Assistant Director of the NZ Secondary Students’ Choir.
🎵 Nicholas Forbes – A respected conductor, organist, and teacher, Nicholas directs several Auckland choirs, is Director of Music at St Matthew-in-the-City and is conductor at the New Zealand Opera School in Whanganui
🎵 Steven Rapana – A singer, arranger, and conductor known for his work with Pacific choral repertoire, Steven brings deep experience as a voice teacher and ensemble leader across Aotearoa.
🎵 Enyah Talamaivao – A rising Pasifika choral artist and conductor, Enyah has performed internationally with the NZ Youth Choir and was recently part of the NZ Symphony Orchestra’s Pasifika Conducting Fellowship.
