Pooley’s ‘Choir Games’ Coming to Sky Open and Neon

DEGANZ member Leanne Pooley‘s inspiring docuseries Choir Games is dropping on Sky Go and Neon on 4 May.

The four-part series tells the story of two choirs, New Zealand’s Kaitāia Community Voices and New York City’s Young People’s Chorus, as they embark on a life-changing journey to compete in the largest choral competition, the 2024 World Choir Games held in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland.

The series follows the choirs from their first rehearsals to their climactic performances, revealing their common struggles, dreams, and unyielding resilience. It also highlights the choirs’ conductors who serve as musical and personal mentors to the young singers. Despite the choirs’ different backgrounds, they are united by the joy that comes from singing and their love for music.

Leanne shares about the series,

I can honestly say this is the most joyful story I’ve ever told. The power of music to change lives is incredibly inspiring. I really think the world needs a series like this just now.

Choir Games will be available on Neon and Sky Go from Sunday 4 May, premiering on Sky Open at 7.30pm that evening.
