Voce Castello 首次亮相 Cadenza Festival 便表现亮眼
发布于2026年9月14日
成立仅一年，Macleans College 的女高音合唱团 Voce Castello 便在新西兰顶尖中学合唱团之列崭露头角。
合唱团远赴 Rotorua，参加了 Upper North Island Cadenza Festival 的演出，荣获 Wharauroa 奖，演出也获得评委的高度赞赏。
能够入选 Cadenza Festival，意味着 Voce Castello 跻身新西兰前60强合唱团之列。此前共有超过260支合唱团参加了 The Big Sing 各地区预赛，力争入围此次盛会。
对这支新成立的合唱团而言，这一成绩尤为难得，充分体现了团员们的努力付出，以及总监 James Harrison 的悉心指导。
在为期三天的活动中，团员们在 Sir Howard Morrison Centre 举行了演唱会，并参加了由合唱专家 Brent Stewart 主持的工作坊。Brent 此次担任音乐节的评委兼指导老师，同时也是 Macleans College 的校友（Hillary House，1998-2002年在读）。
除了荣获 Wharauroa 奖外，合唱团的声部融合与丰满的音色也获得评委的特别肯定。
合唱团在此衷心感谢促成此行的各位老师：感谢 Mrs Williamson、Dr Miles 以及领队 Mrs McNabb 悉心统筹安排；感谢 Mrs McDougall 协助行程顺利进行，并为大家安排了别具意义的 Rotorua 教育之旅。同时也特别感谢 James Harrison 一直以来对合唱团的用心带领与付出。

Voce Castello makes an impressive debut at Cadenza Festival
Posted on September 14, 2026
In its inaugural year, Macleans College’s treble-voice choir Voce Castello has earned recognition among New Zealand's leading secondary school choirs.
The choir travelled to Rotorua to perform at the Upper North Island Cadenza Festival, where it received a Wharauroa award and high praise for its performances.
Selection for the Cadenza Festival places Voce Castello among the top 60 choirs in New Zealand. More than 260 choirs competed in The Big Sing regional festivals to qualify for the event.
The achievement is particularly significant for the newly established choir and reflects the dedication of its singers and the leadership of director James Harrison.
Over three days, the singers performed recitals at the Sir Howard Morrison Centre and took part in workshops led by choral expert Brent Stewart. Brent served as the festival's adjudicator and clinician and is also a Macleans College alumnus (Hillary House 1998 - 2002).
In addition to the Wharauroa award, the choir was also commended by the adjudicator for its blend and resonant vocal tone.
The choir would like to thank the staff who helped make the trip possible. Appreciation goes to Mrs Williamson, Dr Miles and manager Mrs McNabb for their organisation, and to Mrs McDougall for helping the trip run smoothly and providing an educational tour of Rotorua. Special thanks also go to James Harrison for his leadership and commitment to the choir.
