Kiri Te Kanawa

The Kiri Te Kanawa Foundation has been announced as the new Principal Naming Rights Partner of a New Zealand singing competition. From 2026, the Competition will be known as the Kiri Te Kanawa Song Quest.

Kiri Te Kanawa said: “This is a huge and exciting personal honour. The Song Quest is a New Zealand icon. It’s a great and venerable institution which over the years has been the catalyst and launch-pad for so many outstanding careers – including my own. »
