KGC and Friends were delighted to achieve a Bronze Diploma at the 2024 World Choir Games in Auckland. Lots of great memories of listening to international choirs, attending innovative workshops with Dr Anthony Trecek-King and singing with other choirs.

THE CHOIR MEETS: Thursdays 7 - 8.30p.m. (Term times)
VENUE: Baptist Church, Ruapehu St, Paraparaumu
2014 Shona McNeil took over from Carol Shortis and in
2020 the Choir moved from Paekakariki to Paraparaumu.
After 10 successful years of participating in a wide range of community events culminating in participating in the 2024
World Choir Games, Shona has now stepped down as Song
Leader due to health issues. Carol Shortis has kindly offered
to lead the choir until they find a new song leader. We follow
the inclusive teaching style of Tony Backhouse, learning
everything by ear and repetition. Traditional African American
spirituals, gospel songs, plus a range of world songs.
No auditions, no reading music
