Chris has penned special arrangements of New Zealand music for Belle a Cappella, Femme choir and the New Zealand Secondary Students Choir. His arrangements have been performed by the Auckland Youth Choir, The Glamaphones (Wellington), the Christchurch Pops Choir and many more.
He was commissioned by Southland Girls High School to write and workshop several arrangements for Femme Choir for the Big Sing– two of which were performed at Big Sing National Finales in 2008 and 2010.
In fact, three of Chris’ arrangements were performed at the Big Sing National Finale in Wellington, 21-24 August 2008, by three different ensembles: The New Zealand Secondary Students’ Choir, Femme and Belle a Cappella.
