Choir Recording Project
Fergus Byett | Music
Auckland Tāmaki Makaurau
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.
