The biennial selection of NZ top young singers was announced in October and we congratulate Thomas Clarkson (Year 12, Marsden) and Oliver Vannoort (Year 11, Marsden) who have been chosen to be part of the 60-strong 2019-2020 national choir from over 250 applicants nationwide.

“This highly sought-after choir tours internationally every two years, winning major competitions and receiving many accolades,” says Acting Head of Music, Chris Artley. “The choir also performs at significant national events such as the ANZAC Dawn Service and at various sports games.”

Both Oliver and Thomas are studying voice with soprano Gina Sanders at the College and are key members of the Chapel Choir and All The King’s Men, under Mrs Sanders and Mr Steven Rapana.
