St Barnabas Choir Rehearsal

What Makes This Session Special

Singers arrive at St Barnabas ready to warm up their voices and dive straight into rehearsal. The evening focuses on learning and refining a wide range of music, from traditional pieces to contemporary songs, all in preparation for the choir’s three main concerts each year. Participants work together on harmonies, dynamics, and performance details under the guidance of the conductor, building towards polished group performances.

This weekly Wednesday evening session suits singers of all ages and experience levels who enjoy collaborative music-making. Whether you are returning to singing or have years of experience, the format allows everyone to contribute at their own level while improving together. The open nature of the gathering means new voices are always welcome to join the regular choir members.

• Group vocal warm-ups to prepare for the session
• Learning and polishing varied musical repertoire
• Harmony and blend work in a supportive setting
• Rehearsal of concert programmes throughout the year
• Opportunity to meet other local singers

The choir draws participants from across greater Wellington, creating a friendly atmosphere where regular attendance helps everyone feel part of the ongoing musical journey.
