Choirs from across the country will converge on Wellington for a new singing extravaganza. The Musika Moana Choir Competition offers a unique chance for Pacific community choirs to showcase their talent. Choirs will be assessed across several categories. These include vocal performance, musicality, and creativity. Taking place in three cities over a month, the Wellington leg is set to fill the Michael Fowler Centre. The celebration of music, culture, and togetherness promises to be a joyous occasion. 

To elevate its community impact, the competition will offer substantial prizes. The total prize pool is $100,000, intended to go towards initiatives and projects that contribute to the betterment of that community. 

Event spokesperson Helen Tupai said, “This competition is not only about showcasing our amazing Pasifika choirs. It also highlights the strength of our communities, the richness of our Pasifika culture, and the unity we enjoy through music”.
