TAMARIKI

[ta-ma-REE-kee]

Tamariki is Korora’s youngest ensemble. With an emphasis on play and discovery, this group explores singing and music in a secure but exciting environment. In a typical season, Tamariki’s members rehearse in several separate groups of 15 to 30 singers, combining for performances into a full choir with around 45 members. The choir runs in two 10-week rehearsal terms, each culminating a concert. You may opt to sign your child up for one or both terms.

‘Tamariki’ (tah-mah-REE-kee) is the Maori word for ‘children’—because nothing goes better together than children and music, after all!

Share in the joy of singing as we learn new music, play singing games, build our singing and musicianship skills, enjoy rhythm and movement, and more!

Our child is absolutely loving her choir and we were so amazed at the Wintersong concert. We’re so thankful for the work you do!
