Up to 400 choral singers from the lower North Island are combining their voices to mark the 10th anniversary of the Wellington Community Choir. It's been such a hit others have started up in other centres, like the Manawatu Community Choir and Hutt Valley Community Choir based on the same open access model.
So what attracts people to a community choir and keeps them there?
The anniversary concert is on the 29th of August at the Michael Fowler Centre in Wellington.
