Our Mission

To Preserve

The primary mission of NZSMA is to preserve and safeguard the treasure of sacred music especially Gregorian Chant followed by Sacred Polyphony and hymnody in New Zealand.

To Promote

NZSMA aims to promote authentic Sacred Music in parishes across New Zealand, so that through the beauty of sacred music, hearts of the faithful can be lifted up.

To Support

NZSMA is here to support fellow musicians in the Catholic Church across New Zealand by organising workshops, prayer evenings and our biannual Sacred Music Conference.

The treasure of sacred music is to be preserved and fostered with great care. Choirs must be diligently promoted
