Founded in 1992, China International Chorus Festival (CICF) is the largest-scale and highest-level international chorus festival held in China. This year, nearly two hundred outstanding choirs from five continents will once again gather in Beijing to sing the song of peace and friendship. One of which is Auckland-based chamber choir Viva Voce!

Since its inception in 1985, Viva Voce have specialised in innovative programming and attractive presentation of a huge variety of music. Striving always for the twin goals of excellence and entertainment, the choir has given some 400 concerts throughout the country, broadcasts with Radio New Zealand and is regularly engaged for choral-orchestral collaborations.

As an invited choir to CICF, the role of Viva Voce is not just performance, but also one of ambassador. Held every three years, The World Symposium on Choral Music is the peak global event of the International Federation for Choral Music — 2020 sees Auckland playing host to this prestigious event. We look forward to representing New Zealand choral music in our customery acclaimed style, with the goal of highlighting Auckland as an attractive destination for the international choral community!
