Pakuranga Choral Society

All About Pakuranga Choral Society

Pakuranga Choral Society offers a supportive environment for anyone interested in choral singing. With experienced conductors guiding rehearsals, members explore a wide range of music including sacred works, oratorios, show tunes, spirituals and opera choruses. The non-auditioned community choir has been bringing people together through song since 1974, creating a welcoming space for singers of varying experience levels.

Where It All Happens

Rehearsals are held every Monday evening from 7:30pm to 9:30pm at East City Wesleyan Church on 219 Burswood Drive in Auckland, off Ti Rakau Drive. This regular gathering place in Burswood provides a consistent setting for the choir to prepare its three annual concerts, typically held in May, August and at Christmas at Howick Presbyterian Church. The location serves as a local hub for community choral activity in the area.
