Nelson choir tours
The Nelson Youth Choir this week begins an eight day tour of Blenheim, the Nelson lakes and the West Coast.
The choir of 17 female and four male singers aged between 13 and 30 will leave Nelson on Saturday for Blenheim.
The choir will give a concert on each night until May 18. The tour itinerary includes Reefton, Greymouth, Hokitika, Westport, and a final concert in Nel-
son. The planned programme is a varied one with performances of German and Italian classics, modern songs and costume songs. There will also be duets, solos and group items.
The choir members are mainly singing students, and the conductor is a Nelson teacher, Mrs Nancy Stayner. Last year the choir won the Canterbury Choir Shield in the Christchurch competitions. A sub-choir, from
within the choir, the Heritage Singers, won the Westpac schools competition for the Nelson-Marlborough area.
The choir members have raised funds to pay for the tour.
The choir will perform in Blenheim on Saturday, Lake Rotoiti, Sunday, Reefton, Monday, Greymouth, Tuesday, Hokitika, May 15, Westport May 16, Murchison, May 17 and in Nelson, Mav 18.
