A feast for the senses
New Zealand Youth Choir
10 June 2008
I have been part of the NZ Youth Choir for the last 4 years. It is a Lovemark for me because it is such a special entity. Having toured NZ and the world with the choir, I have so many great stories and am often inspired by the choir members as well as our sublime conducter Dr. Karen Grylls. With a fantastic international profile for high standards, quality, commitment, passion and innovation, the music performed by the NZ Youth Choir is a feast for the senses. Audiences have come to love and respect this unique group, which also provides a platform for many young New Zealanders to spread their wings in the music world as well as developing their leadership skills. On a personal level, being a member of this choir has broadened my horizons in so many ways. I learnt so much about myself while touring internationally and have discovered a whole new world of music which I feel privileged to be a part of. The New Zealand Youth Choir is truly a Lovemark of great proportions.
Makes me proud to be a Kiwi
Air New Zealand

Cultural cringe is a big issue in NZ. We're our own worst enemy when it comes to bagging our own products at times. However, Air NZ should not fall into that category. I have often been amazed at the services that Air NZ flights offer, particularly on long haul flights. The entertainment package and food leave many other airlines for dust. Makes me proud to be a Kiwi.
