Overview
The NIU Choir from Bishop Viard College is on a mission to represent our community, our culture, and New Zealand at the 2026 Australian International Music Festival in Sydney. From 5 July to 12 July, 31 of our talented young Pasifika creatives (aged 12–18) will take the stage at the iconic Sydney Opera House and Verbrugghen Hall, participating in adjudicated performances and professional workshops alongside some of the best youth ensembles in the world.
This tour is the culmination of a high-stakes pathway for excellence grounded in our BVC MPPA (Music, Performing Arts, Pasifika) Vision. It is more than just a performance; it is about providing our rangatahi with a global stage to showcase their artistry while being nurtured through our unique Whānau Lead model, which ensures cultural and spiritual safety throughout the journey.

7 Days To Go: We’re on the Home Stretch!
A massive THANK YOU to every single person who has donated, shared, and cheered us on! Because of your incredible generosity, we have almost met our target. We are so close we can practically hear the applause!
With only 7 days left in our Boosted campaign, we are officially on the home stretch. (And remember, on Boosted, it’s all-or-nothing, so every dollar counts right now to secure our funding!)
🎶 The Countdown is On!
While the campaign wraps up in a week, the big adventure is even closer—we leave in just 2 weeks!
The choir students are absolutely buzzing with excitement. Rehearsals are in full swing, bags are being packed, and the energy in the room is electric. They are working so hard to make you proud, and your support is the wind beneath their wings.
⏱️ How you can help us cross the finish line:
If you’ve already donated, you’ve done so much—thank you! If you want to give us one final push, please consider sharing our campaign link with one friend, family member, or music lover today.
Let's bring this home!
With immense gratitude,
