We are delighted to welcome the New Zealand Secondary Students’ Choir and their infectious joy in music-making to Te Whanganui-a-Tara. This will be their first public appearance of the 2025–2026 cycle. Come and hear our nation’s youngest and most talented choral singers as we celebrate Mahuru Māori.
We’re in for another treat this Mahuru Māori at the National Library. Last year, Te Rōpū Rangatahi Waiata o Aotearoa The New Zealand Youth Choir gave a public concert to celebrate this special month, and now the teina — The New Zealand Secondary Students’ choir (NZSSC) — will appear for a public performance as their tuakana did, performing waiata to celebrate te ātaahua hoki o te reo tūturu o Aotearoa.
Bring your hoa, your colleagues and your whānau kia whakanuia ēnei rangatahi me te reo rangatira — this concert is not to be missed!
Nau mai te katoa! Everyone is welcome!
About the choir
The New Zealand Secondary Students’ Choir has achieved considerable success since its formation in 1986. NZSSC has won titles such as Children’s Choir of the World at Llangollen Eisteddfod 2022, and over their near 40-year existence, embarked on 15 international tours, including Canada, Singapore, China, the United States, South America, Australia, and South Africa.
Under the direction of Sue Densem, the NZSSC is a tira waiata of Aotearoa’s finest young voices (14–18) and offers a two-year membership where rangatahi tour throughout the country and learn from some of the country’s top choral teachers and composers. At the end of their two-year cycle, the rōpū rounds out their membership term by embarking on an international tour, performing concerts and competing in choral festivals.
