Wellington Young Voices

Inside Wellington Young Voices

Wellington Young Voices provides regular choral sessions for young singers looking to develop their vocal, choral and musicianship skills. Typical activities centre on group rehearsals that build technique and ensemble singing through a mix of classical, world, musical theatre and New Zealand repertoire. Sessions run on Mondays from 4pm to 6pm during term time only, giving participants a consistent weekly rhythm that fits around school commitments.

The club operates two distinct groups to match different ages and experience levels. Korimako is open to singers aged 6-12, while Kōkako caters to those aged 10 and over through an audition process. Both groups focus on practical skill-building in a choral setting, allowing members to progress at a pace suited to their stage of development.

Location and Directions

Rehearsals take place at Queen Margaret College in Thorndon, a central Wellington suburb. This location supports easy access for families across the wider Wellington area and provides a dedicated space for focused choral work during term time.
