Dear <<First Name>>

School and youth choirs are the theme of this month’s eBreve, with eight festivals taking place around the country in August and early September. Hundreds of our youngest singers will take part in The Kids Sing festivals in Auckland, Hastings, Nelson and Whanganui, while around 1800 secondary school choristers will compete in The Big Sing Cadenza and Finale festivals in Whanganui, Rotorua, Timaru and Christchurch. We’re thrilled to announce that TV celebrity Miriama Kamo will compère the Gala Concert at the National Finale, and delighted that KBB Music have come on board as our newest sponsors.

Also in this edition, ACD Chair David Squire reflects on a successful Choral Connect convention and we share information on further professional development opportunities through our upcoming Giving Direction workshops.
