Alumni (first two rows) join the choir for Handel’s Messiah on 16.12.2018 at the 100 Hallelujah Jubilee concert
Auckland Choral’s official alumni group was set up early in 2018.
Launched with a social occasion hosted by John Stevenson and organised by John and Traude Leibbrand, many former Auckland Choral choristers were delighted to become a part of this group.
The year of 2018 ended with a highlight: it saw alumni members join Auckland Choral on the Town Hall stage for the 100 Hallelujah Memorial Messiah performances.
Strong linkages to the Auckland Choral Management Committee and the Foundation have been formed and an Alumni Committee has been set up to plan events at which alumni can re-connect, sing together, share memories about their years performing in the choir and also on occasion follow invitations to sing with the existing choir in concert whilst also supporting the choir in a variety of ways.
If you have sung with Auckland Choral and left the choir, you are warmly invited to join us by emailing: alumni@aucklandchoral.com
