We Are Waitakere Voices
Waitakere Voices Choir is a community ensemble based in Henderson, West Auckland.
We aim to share high quality music with the Auckland community, and to provide a place for everybody to sing. Something important to us is to give everybody in the community a chance to use their voice - whether trained or not.
Each month we perform in a retirement village, and twice a year we present a public concert - often featuring other local ensembles and soloists from our community.

Will I fit in?
Yes! If you can talk, you can sing.
Our singers come from all walks of life: some are trained singers, some are musicians in some other form. The vast majority of us, though, are normal folks who love singing and want to be part of a group!
