About the Choral Society
Established in 1919 the Palmerston North Choral Society is a mixed-voice choir based in Palmerston North, New Zealand. We present a wide range of music; sacred and secular, traditional and contemporary. We take pride in presenting NZ compositions but also enjoy songs from musical theatre, and the worlds of jazz and folk music.
Our mission is to present choral music of excellence to the citizens of the Manawatū.
We bring together singers who share a passion for choral music and presenting diverse repertoire - traditional to contemporary - for audiences across the Manawatū.

The choir was well-rehearsed and performed with enjoyment. This was truly a concert which was about us and which came from the heart – bravo.

The 70-strong choir sang with precision. They were tuneful, blended well and attentive. Overall it was a convincing performance.

There’s always something spiritual about mass voices, especially such well-practised ones under the direction of Alison Stewart. Sancta Mater was both uplifting and moving.
