Join us for an afternoon of superb song, as we celebrate the work of departing musical director, composer and vocal coach, Nino Raphael.

Nino is the much loved, musical director of Vocal Blokes and Wososi choirs. Nino will soon relinquish these roles as he leaves our shores to continue his musical journey in Europe.

Best of the Best features performances by both Wososi and Vocal Blokes and includes a compilation of our most popular numbers over the last 2-3 years with Nino. Vocal Blokes are accompanied by master percussionist, Andreas Lepper.

The concert will also feature surprise appearances by several other Wellington performers who have been directed, coached or inspired by Nino.

We'd love to see you there ... and there are three ticket prices to reflect everyone's situation. There is also the opportunity for additional koha.

Ticket sales and additional koha from the concert will help support Nino on the exciting next step in his musical career.

We look forward to seeing you on the 9th!

NB. Ticket sales will also be available at the door.
