In 2024, Auckland hosted The World Choir Games.

Award-winning documentary filmmaker Leanne Pooley captured this choral extravaganza event for documentary series The Choir Games.

The four-part series follows two very different choirs, New Zealand's Kaitāia Community Voices and the Young People's Chorus of New York City, on a life-changing journey to compete with the best of the choral world.

Leanne speaks to Mihi about what what’s known as the Olympic Games of singing.

The Choir Games shows from 4 May on Sky Open and Neon.
