From Afternoons, 2:20 pm on 21 June 2022

After a four year hiatus, the much anticipated Lexus Song Quest will showcase some of Aotearoa's best young vocal talent.

The Song Quest, which began in 1950s as The Mobil Song Quest  quickly captured the attention of the nation and has since evolved into a much more challenging competition with bigger stakes.

On Saturday 16 and Sunday 17 of July, the ten Semi-Finalists will compete for a place at the Grand Final Gala in Wellington, where they will perform with the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra.

To tell us all about this year's top talent.. we're joined by the wonderful Clarissa Dunn from RNZ Concert, who will be hosting this year's semis and Grand Final.
