Dio Choir Strikes Gold at The Kids Sing Gala
Dio’s Year 7 and 8 choir, Virtuoso Voce, celebrated an outstanding night at the The Kids Sing Gala, completing a clean sweep of the awards and earning the highest score in the competition.

Led by Director Andrea Creighton, the nearly 80-strong choir performed a programme of three contrasting works, including a dramatic performance of Bringer of Noise that brought the house down in a packed Auckland Town Hall.

Virtuoso Voce received Gold and was named the top-scoring choir, alongside three further awards:

  • Best Performance of Test Piece for Hine e Hine
  • Adjudicator’s Award
  • Audience Award

The choir delivered powerhouse performances both during the day and at the evening Gala, with the results reflecting the talent, commitment and enthusiasm of our young singers.

Congratulations also to Virtuoso Voce leaders Miranda Lai (Year 8) and Naledi Mhuka (Year 8) for their leadership throughout the year. The result marks Andrea’s fourth consecutive Gold Award with the choir – an exceptional achievement.

Congratulations to Virtuoso Voce and our entire choral team on a memorable night and an outstanding achievement for Dio.
