Orpheus Choir Wellington

Orpheus joins us once again in 2026 for COLOSSAL on Saturday 12 September and REVELATIONS on Saturday 24 October.

Orpheus Choir Wellington, often referred to as “the mighty Orpheus”, is renowned for bringing the big choir experience to life: dramatic, spectacular, and emotionally charged performances of stunning choral music. The choir performs across a wide range of events, from its own sell-out concerts to festivals and even the occasional pop collaboration. Many of these performances are recorded and broadcast by RNZ Concert, reflecting the choir’s standing as one of Aotearoa’s leading choral ensembles.

Formed in 1952, Orpheus Choir Wellington is proud to be the custodian of some of the greatest music ever written, bringing it to life for contemporary audiences of all ages. Its diverse and sometimes surprising repertoire spans the most beloved choral works through to rarely performed masterpieces and contemporary Māori waiata. The choir is also a familiar presence at civic and community events, and is proud to be part of New Zealand’s performing arts community.
