Western Springs Park, Auckland. On Sunday March 10, the

Competition.
This competition will be an
opportunity for all Samoan choirs to demonstrate their
musical gifts and talents. It is open to any Samoan choir
from any denomination and region across the country. Choirs

will be a guest judging panel to adjudicate the great
display of talent.
“Samoans love singing. It
is a part of our lifestyle. This competition aims to unite
the Samoan community in fellowship and celebration. It is
also an effective tool in retaining our precious
language” - Te’evā Matāfai [Samoa Village
