RESONATE 2026 - A GATHERING OF SONG LEADERS

Rest, Resonate and Rejuvenate with us.

You are invited to join us for a weekend of celebrating Song Leaders Network Aotearoa the organisation, and song leaders networking around Aotearoa. This weekend is also generously supported by the Top of the South Core Choirs Group.

We are a group of talented, diverse song leaders, all sharing the common value of bringing the joy of singing into our communities.

This long weekend together will be be an immersive experience of singing, song sharing, offerings of educational workshops and discussions on various topics relevant to leading singers - be it school choirs, community choirs or singing groups, special needs and music therapy practitioners.

It promises to be filled with culture, music, and fun as we come together to honour the time of year to rest, resonate and rejuvenate - the Matariki season, before turning towards the new energy of the warmer months to come.

New and potential songleaders are also invited - it's a great way to network, learn pedagogical tips and go home with a bunch of new songs!

Full weekend registration is a great way to take the time to relax, singing together for the fun of it, making new friends and reconnecting with old ones. A gift to have the time to connect with other songleaders in common.
