A Capella Singers, an auditioned choir, was founded in 1975 by Ron James, its first Musical Director and current Patron. And yes, that’s meant to be Capella with one ‘p’ – it was Ron’s musical joke.
The choir comprises around 30 members and performs 3 concerts a year with repertoire ranging from Renaissance to the present day. Concerts are usually presented at First Church in Invercargill. The current Musical Director is Christine McLeod.
