David Hamilton joined Choirs Aotearoa NZ’s Board of Trustees in September 2012. David is an alumnus of NZ Youth Choir and is a teacher and widely performed composer with a particular interest in choral music.

Emma Billings has worked for Choirs Aotearoa NZ since April 2005, both in her current role as Operations Manager and previously as the Choir Administrator. 

Emma came to the choirs after spending three years working for the Centre for Contemporary Arts (CCA) in Glasgow, Scotland, and previously for Arts Access Aotearoa and the Museum of Wellington City and Sea.

She has always been interested in arts management and completed a BA in Art History and BCA in Marketing at Victoria University of Wellington.

Alex grew up in Hawke’s Bay after originating from Wellington. He has a keen interest for the arts specifically in theater but with no less passion as he is with his music. 

Alex has been in choirs since primary school being actively apart of them at both primary and secondary school level, with key leadership roles in each. Alex was a member of the Tenor 1 section of the 2011/2012 NZSSC and his love for choral repertoire has grown exponentially since being apart of a choir at national level. Alex hopes the continued opportunities of the NZYC will further develop his passion for singing and performance. 

Alex is currently studying first year Bachelor of Commerce majoring in Information Systems and Management at Victoria University in Wellington and hopes to find work in business IT alongside his passion for theater.

Latafale joined NZ Youth Choir in 2013. 

Latafale attended King’s College in 2010. She won the Vice-Chancellors Top Pacific Scholarship to Auckland, but opted to study a double degree in Law and Music at Otago University, on the Faculty of Law’s Prestigious 5 year Scholarship.

Latafale works as the Music Director for Student Soul in Dunedin and dances with the Otago Dancers.
