Want to sing with a great new choir
Voices in the Wind, the new auditioned choir covering the whole Wellington region, have two more audition dates now available before we begin our inaugural season. Come and join us for what will be an exhilarating year of fantastic singing! Rehearsal location is Mana (Porirua), very convenient to everywhere, with good public transportation and parking.
Music director is Eric Sidoti, who also directs the Kapiti Chorale, Hutt Valley Gang Show, and St John’s choir on Willis Street, and formerly directed the Kapiti Chamber Choir and the Wainuiomata Choir. Voices in the Wind will cover a huge range of repertoire at a high quality level, yet be accessible to both singers and audiences. Fun will abound!
To sign up for auditions (rehearsals begin on 13 February, and will be on Wednesday evenings), go to the following page or else contact our membership secretary Linda van Milligan at lindavanmilligan@gmail.com .

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
