Anthem singers sought

Auditions are being held around New Zealand to find singers to perform national anthems before Rugby World Cup matches.

The New Zealand Choral Federation will hold a workshop in Dunedin next week to find 30 people to be part of a choir to sing the national anthems before matches at Otago Stadium.

The workshop, from 10am-1pm next Saturday in St Paul's Cathedral crypt, will be followed by optional two-minute auditions, in which choristers will sing an unaccompanied verse of God Defend New Zealand in English or Maori and a short, accompanied melody.

The choir for the games in Dunedin involving England, Ireland, Italy, Romania, Georgia and Argentina will be announced next month.

To take part in the workshop and/or audition, register at nzcf.org.nz.
