Hamilton Civic Choir

12/08/2026

Hamilton Civic Choir has performed choral music at the highest standards since its inception in 1946. The Choir’s passion for sharing the thrill of live choral music has remained steadfast throughout its long, proud history. And indeed, this Choir enjoys a reputation as one of New Zealand’s finest, having travelled to New York in 2018, the World Choir Games in Auckland in 2024, and recently being invited to London in 2027.
With 2026 marking our 80th Anniversary, we bring you a celebratory concert- Tiakina Te Re Waiata- Keeping the Song Alive. Sharing a range of the choir’s favourites. Repertoire ranging from the 1800s to today, bringing you Brahms, Bruckner, Mendelssohn through Peter Angeła, Ola Gjeilo, Stroope, and Chilcott, and NZ composers Robert Wiremu and Takerei Komene and more!

There’s sure to be something you will love as we demonstrate the evolution of the choir to its modern form with 60 choristers, a 50-year age range, and singing in multiple languages under the baton of Elise Bradley MNZM and piano accompaniment by Francis Cowan. The main event begins at 7 pm in the Cambridge Town Hall, and will be followed by celebrations with a cake, piano bar, and some fundraising activities—a Silent Auction, a raffle, and the sale of musical notes which when “sold out” will be the final song of the night! And if you can’t make the concert, you are welcome to come along for the festivities from 9 pm.
Don’t miss out, space is limited—click the link in our Instagram to buy your tickets online from Humanitix!

Tickets range from $10-$40 (excl. ticket platform fees).
Door sales ONLY if available cash or EFTPOS (EFTPOS fees added at sale).

A sneaky audience view of a very special evening.

Thank you to everyone who joined us tonight at St Peter’s Cathedral. It was a wonderful celebration of choral music, community, and shared purpose as we raised funds towards the Cathedral’s earthquake strengthening project.

To our singers, audience members, supporters, volunteers, and friends—thank you for being part of it.

Here’s to the power of music to bring people together. ❤️
