Overview

Kia ora! - I’m a composer based in Hamilton, and this August I’m recording one of my original choral compositions: an acapella setting of In the Bleak Midwinter. After several years in the making, my take on Christina Rossetti’s beloved Christmas text is now ready to be shared with the world.

We’re building this project from the ground up, and I’m excited to be bringing together a small team of some of Auckland’s best choral singers to record the work at St Luke’s Church, Remuera. With your support, I’ll be able to pay the singers for their time and talents, hire a professional sound engineer and video team, and make a recording which showcases New Zealand’s choral talent to the world.

I’m deeply passionate about the rich tapestry of choral music we have here in New Zealand; if you believe in supporting our homegrown choral scene, I would greatly appreciate your support.

99% - thank you!

Hi everyone,

Wow - I've been completely blown away by the support over the last 13 days. Almost $5,000 in two weeks is absolutely stupendous - I'm so grateful. And to all the 'Anonymous' donors, I wish I knew who you were so I could thank you personally, but please take this as your thank you!!

We're currently $35 away from our target; at the rate we've been going, this may well be donated at some point over the next few hours. The campaign is open until the end of the month, and any extra funds we raise from this point on will help to cover the fee that Boosted charge for us to use their platform, as well as hiring a rehearsal venue. So essentially what I'm saying is, thank you all so much for your support so far, and if you find yourself coming to this page now, every extra dollar above the $5,000 target will still be put to good use, so any further donations are very gratefully received!

Thank you all,

Fergus :)
