Timaru is fortunate in having been selected as a South Island venue to host 12 choirs for a Big Sing Cadenza, with these choirs being ranked immediately below those selected for the national Finale.
Cadenza is the ‘next best thing to The Big Sing Finale’ enabling 36 competing choirs from across New Zealand to experience the buzz of a Finale-style event, with the added dimension of massed workshops with an international choral conductor who will also perform the role of adjudicator.
These two-day events will culminate in a public gala concert allowing all the choirs to showcase an item from their Cadenza repertoire and to sing together, music rehearsed with our international guest.
The sessions are open to the public on Friday 16 August from 11-12:30pm and 2-3:15pm and on Saturday 17 August 10-12pm and 1-2pm at the Craighead Auditorium.
Our TBHS choir participated in the Otago competition, and although not selected for this event, they are assisting with the organisation.
However, our sister school Timaru Girls' High School is participating in the event and we encourage you to come along for an evening of high calibre entertainment. Choirs will be travelling from as far afield as Otago, Marlborough, and Central Otago.
