🎶 ⭐ Rangi Voices had a wonderful day last week with choirs from Christ's College, St Margaret's College, Selwyn House School, Medbury School and The Cathedral Grammar School.
🗣 🎉 Encore is a great opportunity for students to share their love of singing with each other, teachers, whanau and friends. The choirs joined together during the morning for rehearsals of three massed items, and then presented these in an evening concert, along with individual items by each choir. Such great mahi and progress in just one morning's work was evident at the concert, which was enjoyed by a large and appreciative audience.
👏A big thank you to Christ's College for hosting the event and to all the choir directors for their hard work with the students to bring them to such a high standard of performance. 💙 💛 Rangi Ruru Girls' School

⭐ 🎹 Rangi's four St Andrew's at Rangi Ruru Organ Scholars - Renee Jiang and Jessica Li (Year 9), and Hayley Jiang and Tiantian Chen (Year 12) - gave an informal organ recital to family and friends on Sunday afternoon in St Andrew's at Rangi Ruru Church. It was lovely to be joined by Alex Dy (St Andrew's College), George Currie (Christ's College) and Benedict Gordon.
🎶 Organised by the Christchurch Organist's Association, this was an excellent opportunity for these students to share their talents with those present, and to showcase the beautiful organ in St Andrew's Church.
👏Our grateful thanks to Rangi's organ curator John Dodgshun and the St Andrew's Parish for their support of our organ scholars, and to Ms Janet Gibbs for her expert teaching and support of these talented students. 💙 💛. Rangi Ruru Girls' School

🎵 ⭐️ Resolutions and director Helen Charlton have had a wonderful Big Sing Finale over the last three days. Returning to Christchurch, the top 24 choirs in New Zealand wowed audiences in attendance and across the world (over half a million globally watching the live stream) with some breath taking performances in each of their two recitals. Although there is a competitive element, at its heart Finale is a celebration of choral singing along with all the goodness that young people have to offer.

🎉 Congratulations to Resolutions and Helen on performances of deep beauty, grace and commitment, which earned them a Silver Award. 👏 The smallest choir in attendance with only 16 members, time and time again comments were made about Resolutions' bravery, their beautiful sound and high levels of musicianship and commitment that they brought to each performance from a group of this size. Helen Charlton has worked tirelessly over many months to bring the choir to this very high level. This work has been supported by a strong group of Year 13 students who are outstanding role models and lead with kindness, grace and respect for Resolutions and for choral music. We are so proud of you all. 💙 💛 Rangi Ruru Girls' School
