The annual Junior Treble Voices Festival was a truly uplifting afternoon and evening, celebrating both music and togetherness, held on International Friendship Day, Friday 1st August.
The festival brought together over 330 young singers from a range of schools, including Kristin Junior School, Takapuna Normal Intermediate, Belmont Intermediate, Long Bay College, Carmel College, the New Zealand Children’s Choral Academy, and our junior choir, Nota Bella. The singers spent the afternoon singing together and workshopping with guest clinicians Fiona Wilson (HOD Music WGHS) and Mary Cornish MNZM.
The Festival culminated with an evening concert for parents and supporters, where each choir shared their hard work with vibrant and joyful singing. The highlight of the event was the three massed items, where all 330 voices joined powerfully together in song. It was a beautiful culmination of the evening’s themes, demonstrating the profound human connection that can be found through music.
Thank you to all the whānau and community members who came to support our students and share in this special celebration. The evening was a wonderful reminder that music is indeed better when shared with friends.
For those WGHS students who are thinking about joining a choir in 2026, auditions are coming up in Week 9 of Term 3. Come and talk to a music teacher about choir and how to prepare for an audition and become a part of our singing whānau next year!
