"Music that touches the soul" is the motto of Bach Musica NZ, whose mission is to add value to people's lives through the all-embracing language of music.

The ensemble consists of a 40 voice choir and a professional orchestra dedicated to performing a wide range of music from classical (Baroque to 21 Century) to jazz under their Music Director Rita Paczian.

We present a six concert series in 2012 held in the Holy Cathedral (Parnell), the Great Town Hall (City Centre) and the Baradene College Concert Hall (Remuera).

In addition to the Concert Series, Bach Musica NZ also presents occasional Chamber Music Concerts and an Education Programme with Singing and Conducting Workshops open to all ages and levels.
