The Timaru District Choir:  Have you ever been interested in singing? Wanting to join a choir that enjoys classical harmonies as well as more familiar tunes? We sing a wide variety of music for all areas of life and enjoy choral music by Rutter, Handel, Mozart and so many more. The Timaru District Choir is a group that gathers to develop their music abilities and talents and to share this talent with the community. Over the last years we have sung with other choirs of Timaru and Geraldine and recently enjoyed having the New Zealand Male Choir sing at one of our concerts.

The Timaru District Choir are about to start up again for the year from the 24th February. Our practice nights are on Monday nights from 7.15pm at Trinity Church on College Road, Timaru. Come along and see what we do. If you have any questions please contact someone that you might know in the choir or phone Jessie on     03 686 2879.”
