Welcome to the Jubilate Singers, a Christchurch (New Zealand) SATB chamber choir of around 24 singers. The "Jubes" present 4-5 public concerts a year featuring a wide range of international and New Zealand choral music and is well-known for its innovative programming.

Explore our website and enjoy excerpts from our most recent BAROQUE VESPERS concert - including a stunning Biber violin solo played by Cathy Irons, with Martin Setchell (organ) and Janet Sim (cello).

NEW MEMBERS
Are you looking for a friendly chamber choir that offers more than a bit of a challenge? The Jubes is always interested in meeting and auditioning new singers. If you have some singing experience and reasonable sight reading ability, we'd like to hear from you. We can offer the pleasure of singing in a small, intimate ensemble, the challenge of learning exciting music in a wide range of styles and … a friendly cup of tea in the break at rehearsal. The choir has a strong social side and several gatherings are held during the year, which may take the form of a barbecue, attending a concert or a movie. See "Join us" for more information about membership.

YOUTUBE
We currently don't have any Youtube footage of the choir but will post some of our favourites. Check back here from time to time to see what's new. Currently, we feature a fascinating recording of Eric Whitacre's "Lux arumque" by a virtual choir, with singers from all around the world contributing. They are many more links attached to this one, for more details. Incidentally, Jubes has performed this work as well as "Sleep" and "This Marriage" in the past few years. See our archive for details of past concerts going back to 1977! 

Feel free to contact us or join our mailing list … and do come to our concerts!

Best wishes

Grant Hutchinson
Music Director
