Each January, around 70–80 choristers get together to work with an international, choral conductor to perform a wide range of choral music in a beautiful setting. For nine days, choral music lovers enjoy great company and copious food, and have fun making other music in small groups or just lazing about in one of the most stunning parts of New Zealand. teapotsummerschool.co.nz
