Trinity Students take part in Voices of the World Festival

Year 13 Trinity students Joseph Kelly and Tim Stevens spent the July school holidays on an international tour with the New Zealand Secondary Student’s Choir (NZSSC). The NZSSC started their trip with a 40th anniversary and farewell tour concert at Holy Trinity Cathedral in Auckland.

Following a 2am wake-up call, the 56 singers flew to Hong Kong for the World Choir Festival, and then onto Singapore for the Voices of the World Festival. The tour included 15 performances, some outside in 30 plus degree heat. There were lots of fun cultural exchanges and workshops, which included teaching songs from Aotearoa to the other international choirs. In Singapore they recorded “We Are The World” with youth choirs from several other countries, under the direction of composer Darius Lim. The music video will be released on International Children’s Day.

An amazing experience for two talented Trinity singers! Well done Joseph and Tim - we are very proud of you!
