Entry by Koha

Friends of St John's Choir invite you to an inspiring lunchtime concert celebrating music that speaks to the deepest longings of the human spirit.

A beautifully curated programme of cherished music to uplift the heart, inspire the mind, and transport the soul.

With Tania Parker as MC and featuring music as diverse as Mozart's sublime Soave sia il vento, the glamour and wit of Cabaret, the serenity of Ave Maria by Schubert and Floyd's deeply moving Ain't It a Pretty Night, this concert promises an unforgettable hour of vocal artistry.

Performed by an outstanding line-up of singers, these timeless melodies remind us of music's extraordinary power to comfort, inspire, and lift the soul.

This special fundraising concert supports the gifted students of the New Zealand School of Music who generously volunteer their talents as members of St John's Choir. Through their music, they enrich the worship and community life of St John's in the City while pursuing their aspirations as the next generation of New Zealand's professional musicians.

By attending, you will not only enjoy an exceptional concert but also help nurture these emerging artists as they continue their musical journey.

Join us for an hour of beautiful music, shared inspiration, and the opportunity to invest in the future of New Zealand's musical life.
