The Big Sing finale in Dunedin

From Nights, 8:30 pm on 29 August 2025

The Big Sing is an annual, nationwide secondary schools choral festival, involving around 8,000 students from over 200 schools.

The festival is New Zealand's largest choral event and has been going for well over 30 years, with singers entering regional competitions held in around the county.

And it's Big Sing Finale time again, which this year is being held down in Dunedin and RNZ's own Bryan Crump is the MC for tomorrow night's Gala Concert.
