"...it is inspiring to hear choral singing of such brilliance and consummate artistry...
Musica Sacra seems to have achieved all the qualities choral conductors dream about"
Dominion Post, October 2006
Musica Sacra has a limited number of vacancies
for tenors.
Please click here if you are interested in an audition.
Musica Sacra is a chamber choir of around 30 voices founded and conducted by Indra Hughes and based in Auckland, New Zealand. The choir performs regularly in concerts, choral services, recordings and radio and television broadcasts.
2008 is the choir's Tenth Anniversary Season and to celebrate this milestone we have assembled a year of magnificent music.
The choir's most recent CD recording, Christmas a cappella II, was in the top ten of the New Zealand Classical Chart for ten weeks, five of them at Number One.
In August 2006 the choir became the proud owners of the 1981 Mander chamber organ first used at the Royal Wedding in St Paul's Cathedral, London in 1981; the organ was inaugurated by John Scott in a special concert. Click on the 'Chamber Organ' menu button at the left to read more about this beautiful instrument.
We hope you will enjoy visiting this web site, where you can find full information about the choir and its performances and repertoire, recordings and reviews. Our 2008 programme ranges from Palestrina to Parry in a variety of concerts, recordings and services.
We encourage you to join our Mailing List and we look forward to welcoming you at our performances.
Indra Hughes, conductor
Kevin Bishop, general manager
