To begin our 2024 concert cycle, Wellington Youth Choir presents Huakina, a celebration of wāhine, nonbinary and irawhiti choral composers from Wellington and around the motu.

Meaning 'to open', Huakina is designed to uplift and make space for new and experienced non-male composers and to showcase their work to a brand new audience.WYC is delighted to announce that a number of pieces are composed by both current and ex-members of the choir, with some being written specially for this concert. These pieces will premiere alongside works by acclaimed New Zealand composers such as Takerei Komene and Georgina Palmer.

The choir is conduced by Rowan Johnson and accompanied by Nick Kovacev. This concert, and the Wellignton Youth Choir is supported by the Wellington City Council.
