The Edgecumbe Choir’s objective is to promote the practice and performance of choral and orchestral music.  

The choir was formed at Edgecumbe in 1957, but since 2000 has been based in Whakatane, practising on

Thursday nights between 7 and 9pm at the Church of St George and St John in Domain Road.  Though much of

the music the choir sings is religious in origin and the performances are often held in churches, the choir has no

religious affiliation.

Members are drawn from around the Eastern Bay of Plenty. Our vision is to be “A vibrant and inclusive group of singers who enjoy learning a range of choral music to an excellent standard, and performing to a wide and appreciative audience”.  

We welcome new members and supporters. Contact: edgecumbechoir@gmail.com
