Choral Federation
The New Zealand Choral Federation (NZCF) is this country’s largest choral network, committed to promoting the performance, creation, and enjoyment of choral music for all.
Our diverse community includes over 20,000 members from hundreds of community, school, and chamber choirs performing in styles ranging from classical, gospel, world music, sacred music and barbershop through to jazz, kapa haka, musical theatre and opera. NZCF offers opportunities for choral singers around the country through community and chamber choir festivals and workshops.
