As preparations begin for the Aotearoa Choral Academy’s October course, Co-Music Directors Jono Palmer and Fiona Wilson are travelling across Aotearoa to connect with Academy singers in their own regions. These regional visits provide valuable opportunities for singers to take part in focused rehearsals and training sessions, gaining expert guidance and developing the skills needed for the Academy’s intensive four-day programme.

By bringing high-quality musical leadership directly to local communities, these sessions help strengthen connections among singers while ensuring everyone arrives in October confident, prepared, and ready to make the most of the Academy experience
