Congratulations to all the choirs selected for The Big Sing Finale and The Big Sing Cadenza festivals this year, and to the young composers placed in our SOUNZ Composition Competition!
We apologise to Cantala of Wellington East Girls’ College, Kings Kappella of King’s College Auckland and Esquire of One Tree Hill College who should have been on the previously published list for Cadenza but were thought to have been unavailable. We’re delighted that Cantala and Kings Kappella will now be able to take part.
