The TVNZ Auckland office was serenaded this morning, with the harmonious tunes of the Mana Moana choir.

The choir, described as "fusing the sounds of classical music with rich Pasifika melodies", is led by Signature Choir conductor Helen Tupai and New Zealand Symphony Orchestra conductor Brent Stewart.

More than 150 performers – made up of 78 NZSO musicians and 80 Signature Choir singers – are deep in rehearsal as they prepare to showcase Pasifika songs.

The choir will be performing at Auckland's Spark Arena on Friday, November 24.
