Beautiful Voices, Beautiful People
Committed to Making a Difference
The Auckland Girls’ Choir nurture young ladies, 9 to 16 years of age from the wider Auckland community. They are tutored by Founder and Musical Director, Mrs Leonie Lawson MNZM. By perfecting their voice, pitch, diction, projection, and presentation, these young women learn the discipline they need to enhance their self-worth, confidence, and team spirit. We provide a safe haven for young girls of different ethnicities to come together for the love of music and choral singing.
The choir was created to bring together girls from any Auckland school whether they have musical training or not. If we see a spark of talent, they are mentored and coached in all areas of choral singing and music.

This concert is the show-stopping finale of months of preparation for the Choir. One week later they will fly out to Los Angeles to sing around California, including concerts in Disneyland and San Diego, mentored and conducted by Leonie Lawson MNZM.
They choir will be entertaining the crowds with music from across the world and ages, including a phenomenal ABBA medley.
The choir is in hot demand for performances at major Auckland Events and Community Centres, and are frequently heard on TV One Praise Be! In the World Projects International Music Festival in Sydney, 2016 they were awarded a silver award and received a standing ovation after their performance in the Sydney Opera House.
