Kate Bell is investigating the experiences of people who join adult community choirs with a focus on the barriers they face, and what makes them stay, for a PhD research at Auckland University.

Bryan Crump speaks with Kate about the network of community choirs she has created across the top end of the North Island, how COVID has impacted the experience so far, and what trends she has already uncovered in her research.
