Why Grads?
“In early February (2025) I had the great pleasure of working with The Graduate Choir, New Zealand in a one day workshop in Auckland. What a tremendous outfit they are, superbly trained under their Maestro, Terence Maskell.
The choir, made up of a hugely diverse membership, were just back after their summer break, but were nevertheless on point, eager to work and very responsive to the technical work I did with them, both sectionally and tutti. The choir covers a wide range of repertoire, all prepared in great musical detail and sung with passion and conviction.
It was a very enjoyable day spent with an ensemble for whom inclusion, diversity and collegiality are paramount alongside their wonderful music making. Thank you for inviting me to work with you, and I hope there will be another opportunity on my next visit to New Zealand.”
““Being in a choir is more than just singing; it is being part of a community. Supporting The Graduate Choir NZ ensures continued artistic growth, drives innovation, and strengthens the future of choral music. In 2023, I attended a concert by The Graduate Choir NZ and in my opinion, it was one of the best choral concerts I have ever heard. It is vital that we keep this fantastic choir going to encourage and support the many talented singers in Auckland.”
““Over the past 12 years, Grads has provided me with the opportunity to continue my musical development after singing in high school choirs. I have learnt so much not only about music, harmony, tuning, and the power of sound a choir can produce, but also about commitment, teamwork and whanaungatanga. For 2025, I am very grateful to have been awarded the Graduate Choir NZ Anniversary Scholarship to help further develop my singing with professional one-to-one voice coaching withJames Harrison. I am looking forward to being a part of this great choir for many years to come.””
