Discover the imaginative and innovative performances of the Jubilate Singers. Since the choir's inception in 1977 the Jubilate Singers have earned a national reputation for high quality a cappella sacred and secular works, jazz arrangements and works with orchestral accompaniment.
Welcome to the Jubilate Singers, a Christchurch (New Zealand) SATB chamber choir of around 32 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 and consistently high standard.

While our regular Musical Director, Susan Densem, has taken sabbatical leave for the year, the Jubilate Singers has taken the opportunity to offer this role to special guest musicians. First up is Matthew Everingham, Christchurch based musical director, conductor, composer and pianist, who has put together a delightful programme of choral music written for, by and about mothers from the Renaissance to the present day.
Matt attended St Bede's College, the University of Canterbury and Trinity College, London. Matt's first encounter with the Jubilate Singers was with the Court Theatre's production 'The Events' in 2016. He recently completed a successful season at the Court as Deputy Musical Director for 'Chicago', and is currently in rehearsals for the Showbiz production 'Wicked'.
