Taupo Choral Society - Help us bring the joy of music to the community

Deb from Taupo Central

Taupo Choral Society uses the power of music to bring together singers of all ages and abilities. The music unites a team of singers who come for various reasons but mostly just because we enjoy singing and the companionship brings us back year after year. We enjoy the support of the Taupo community who come to our concerts regularly regardless of what we perform which ranges from classical to easy listening songs and over the years have performed such works as ‘The Messiah’, ‘Mozart’s Requiem’ & ‘Elijah’, church music, Christmas concerts, World War I commemoration, Rugby World Cup celebration, and concerts with visiting choirs. We also link with a number of other musical groups in the Taupo community for some concerts including with school choirs, upcoming soloists, musicians, dancers, and the Taupo Concert Band. We believe that music brings a community together and so our concerts have very low ticket prices so that everybody can afford to come and we have good attendances with regular groups coming from retirement villages, respite care facilities and the community. Unfortunately it does cost us to perform these concerts in terms of rehearsal venue, accompanist, conductor, music hire etc. We would love to receive a grant to help us continue to bring music and joy to the Taupo community and also welcome any new singers who may be interested in joining us on Wednesday evenings at 7.30pm, St Paul's Church.
