This is our massed choir – bringing together our choirs, our 4 singing communities from all across Auckland, plus Taupo & Tauranga
Our singers come from all walks of life, and range from teenagers to oldies, and everything in between. They come from a variety of musical and singing backgrounds - some can read music and some can't. Some have been in choirs before, some not since school days, and for some this is their first ever experience of being in a choir. There's no typical All Together Now member
Some videos and audio recordings from performances this year, including our previous concert at St Matthews are on our website
