'Life-changing! Amazing, enriching; the best two years of my life,'  NZSSC member.

The New Zealand Secondary Students Choir is the national choir for 13 to 18 year olds. It gathers the country’s finest young voices and offers them a once in a lifetime opportunity, a two-year membership to learn from top New Zealand choral practitioners and vocal coaches.

NZSSC performs a wide variety of music, including many works from New Zealand composers. Our Music Director is Sue Densem of Christchurch, appointed in early 2019 following Andrew Withington's departure to pursue new adventures after 10 years conducting the choir. 

A standing ovation for this fabulous choir ... Bravo!'
Rosemary Collier, reviewer, April 2018.
