A recording of the Waiheke Choral Society and Waiheke choir Sister Shout performing Handel's Messiah was made by Waiheke Radio in December 2008. The live performance was recorded at St Peter's Church in Oneroa and broadcast on Christmas Eve and again on Christmas Day. You can download or listen to this recording [here]
