Voices New Zealand

Voices New Zealand performs in Stabat Mater.

Voices New Zealand Chamber Choir, with Music Director Dr Karen Grylls CNZM, made its début at the 1998 New Zealand International Arts Festival and later that year won awards at the Tolosa International Choral Competition in Spain.

As a nationally selected choir of the highest calibre, VOICES is a chamber choir that is flexible in size, and capable of performing a wide repertoire. Many of the singers are alumni of the New Zealand Youth Choir.

Recent performance highlights include the 2018 European Tour to London, Hamburg, Berlin, Aix-en-Provence and Barcelona, appearances in Jack Body's Passio, Tippet's A Child of our Time and Britten's War Requiem, and Ross Harris' Requiem for the Fallen. A sell-out gala concert with Dame Kiri Te Kanawa was one of the classical highlights in the 2016 New Zealand Festival.

Critically acclaimed recordings include Spirit of the Land (winner of a 'TUI', a New Zealand Music Award for Best Classical Album), Voice of the Soul, and Follow That Star.

With its distinct New Zealand sound, VOICES has established itself as the country's premier national and professional choir, collaborating with orchestras, Chamber Music New Zealand, Taonga Puoro and other artists across creative genres.
