Continual financial support for The Kiri Programme imperative for ongoing success

Posted on 25 July 2017

Continual financial support for The Kiri Programme imperative for ongoing success

The inaugural Kiri Programme was a major commitment for the Kiri Te Kanawa Foundation, both in terms of organisation and financially. Total costs for the first year came to just under $200,000. Because it is unsustainable for the Foundation to continue to invest this level of financing year after year we have sought support from lovers of singing in New Zealand and abroad.
While the Foundation is still by far the biggest funder, the contributions received from others have been extremely helpful, and we are enormously grateful for it.
Continual financial help is required to ensure the long-term viability of The Kiri Programme. Donations of any size are welcome.

Foundation determined to share excellence

The Foundation is delighted with the progress made by the six singers who have now completed the inaugural Kiri Programme – so much so that they wanted to celebrate their results by showcasing the young singers’ twelve month experience at an intimate evening with supporters and tutors. The evening was hosted by Dame Jenny Gibbs at her lovely home – it was a night to remember with pride.
