After a fantastic 11-year tenure, our wonderful Musical Director, Nicholas Forbes, is leaving Harbour Voices to further his musical career. Therefore, we are looking for a new Musical Director commencing February 2025.
Based in Takapuna, we are a SATB auditioned choir with more than 60 members ranging from early twenties to late seventies. We are an open, welcoming and inclusive group providing choristers with opportunities to develop as singers while performing diverse, challenging choral music in three concerts each year.
Each June, we also sing in Auckland Symphony Orchestra’s “The Last Night of the Proms” at the Bruce Mason Centre. We also perform at Takapuna's ANZAC Day service and during their Christmas festival.
Rehearsals are at St. George's Presbyterian Church in Takapuna and run February to November on Wednesdays from 7:30 pm - 9:45 pm.
If you are up for the challenge of leading a hard-working choir that is continually striving to improve the quality of its performances, then send your CV to the Harbour Voices Chair, Bron Roberts, at bts3@xtra.co.nz or with any queries call Bron 027 571 0030.
KMTS are seeking a director. Our much-loved community choir has been singing since 2007 under the directorship of two talented directors over that period. Membership has been around 30 during this time, comprising SATB, however, of late we have mostly comprised women songsters covering SAT. Regrettably, our most recent director has found it necessary to leave us due to his other commitments.
We perform two concerts per year in Katikati. In past years we have enjoyed collaborating with other choirs in surrounding districts for joint concerts. Our repertoire has been varied, with both old and modern pieces and latterly some classical items which led us down a new and unexpected path, to the delight of our faithful audience and we surprised ourselves as we took up the challenge.
We are a friendly bunch who practise at St Peter’s Anglican Church in Katikati each Wednesday between 7-9pm. We love to sing and would be very sorry to see the choir fold if a director cannot be found. Our community backs this sentiment.
If you feel this position is one for you, please be in touch with Karen Sellers on 021 1285684.
