On Friday 27th March, Cigno Voce Choir headed off to camp at Peter Snell Youth Village in Whangaparaoa, and had an energetic and enriching weekend of music making. This year our senior treble choir is conducted by Annabel Yu, accompanied by Year 13 student pianist, Veronica Liang, and vocal coach, Gnesyer Gomez.
The students are singing a range of repertoire including texts in Malaysian & German. Cigno Voce spent their weekend in workshops and rehearsals, learning notes and applying musicianship to their pieces.
The camp was not only about musical growth but also about creating friendships, whanaungatanga, and personal development as the students bonded with fellow choir members through collaborative activities and team-building. Friday night saw the section leaders organising games and activities, and Saturday night included a camp talent-show concert, where every student participated.
On Sunday afternoon, parents and caregivers were treated to a performance of the student’s progress on their repertoire to finish off their weekend of music-making! We are looking forward to seeing our choristers performances throughout the year and their growth as singers.
