Nothing Else Matters - performed by Stonefields Choir Aug 2024

About Us:
Formed in September 2011 by Melonie Roberts, the Stonefields Choir, from Auckland, New Zealand, has grown to over 100 members under the directorship of Chris Bevan. The aim of the choir is to have fun, make new friends and sing our hearts out with the intent of learning some new skills or rekindle some old ones. Our purpose is to create a community through singing.

Stonefields Choir performs several charitable concerts each year and has raised funds for the Auckland City Mission, Parkinsons NZ and NZ Bowel Cancer over the last few years. We also enjoy opportunities to be invited as special guests at other choirs’ performances and private events.

Our choir membership is incredibly diverse being made up of people from all walks of life and nationalities. Some of us read music, others do not. Some of us have been in choirs before in NZ or further afield and many are new to choir singing. So whatever your background all are welcome.

We are not a religious choir but this does not stop us singing celebratory hymns or songs if we feel they will add to our repertoire. We sing music from all genres including pop, rock, musical theatre, classical choral, and gospel.

We meet to practice at Stonefields School Hall, 81 Tihi Street Stonefields on Mondays during school terms at 7.15pm until 9pm. Fees are $105 per term for membership of our main choir. This is followed by our extension Group rehearsal (SFX) which will run from 9.00pm to 9.40pm. An additional charge of $35 is payable per term to join SFX and additional responsibilities exist (see here). There will also be a short informal audition for those that may wish to join this group Please note that term weeks can vary to either 8 or 10 rehearsals per term, depending on the school term or public holidays. Any cancelled sessions will be added on another day in the week or a Monday within the holidays. We do not give refunds or discounts for any missed rehearsals.

Stonefields Choir also has a great social family environment where we meet during the week for the occasional evening drinks or have private group rehearsals at a members home, which is great way of getting to know your fellow singers in a informal setting.
