Sunday Concert Features Manu Mātātahi

Thames Music Group’s August Sunday concert features youth-driven chorus, Manu Mātātahi. Manu Mātātahi is passionate about revitalizing the barbershop style amongst young people in the Waikato. They’re made up of a diverse mix of genders, ages, and backgrounds. Even though they have only been singing together since early 2022, they have been awarded bronze medals at the Barbershop Harmony New Zealand national competitions in both 2023 and 2024, and the Most Improved Trophy, the Audience Favourite Trophy, and gold overall in 2025, taking home the Chorus Champion Cup. They are freshly returned from the USA where they represented Aotearoa on the International stage in June 2026, showing the world their unique blend of Te Ao Māori and barbershop harmony and placing 13th overall out of 38 competitors. Manu Mātātahi always welcomes new members - you can find them in the Marian School Hall, Hamilton, on Thursdays from 7:15pm. Don’t miss this concert at 2 pm, on Sunday 9th August.
