Bio

Auckland’s own choir since 1855. With dynamic Music Director Uwe Grodd leading the choir since 2009, Auckland Choral is proud to continue its tradition of presenting quality choral music. Although the core of the choir’s repertoire is the major classical choral works, Auckland Choral also regularly commissions new works from New Zealand composers, and presents lesser-known gems. And no Christmas would be complete without the annual performances of Handel’s masterpiece, Messiah. Leading local and international soloists and orchestras perform alongside the choir in venues such as Auckland Town Hall and the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity. Auckland Choral invites you to be part of its long tradition by subscribing to our 2012 concert series. A feast of great music awaits you!
