In memoriam | Helen Acheson

Our treasured friend and Voices NZ singer Helen Acheson passed away suddenly in 2023. Our most heartfelt thoughts are with her husband Chris and her young children during these difficult times.
Helen joined the Choirs Aotearoa NZ whānau more than 25 years ago. She was a member of the New Zealand Youth Choir in 1997 and 1998 and has sung with Voices New Zealand for over a decade. With her passion for music and singing she became a classroom music teacher, mentored and coached young singers of NZ Secondary Students’ Choir and NZ Youth Choir, contributed to outreach activities into school and community choirs and offered her expertise to everyone. This year Helen worked for the New Zealand Choral Federation in an outreach role to encourage more primary school aged children to sing. At the same time Helen worked and toured with Voices New Zealand as recent as May 2023..
Helen has been such an incredible, positive, engaging and committed member of our national choirs’ community, a cornerstone of all our Voices NZ projects and musical inspiration to all of us. We will miss her so much and find it difficult to imagine the future without her.
Hei konā mai me te aroha
