Deke Sharon, the man behind the Pitch Perfect movies and The Sing-Off, comes to Auckland 13-14th July for two days of aca-fun workshops and education, performances and competitions. The Pan Pacific Youth Harmony Festival is for anyone who loves to sing and for everyone who wishes they could. This is for all a cappella enthusiasts.

The Pan Pacific Youth Harmony Festival is a brand new festival celebrating all things a cappella! From 13-14 July 2016, the festival will take over the Aotea Centre with workshops and concerts, as well as competitions for both barbershop quartets and a cappella groups.

For the first time ever in Auckland, attendees will have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to learn from Deke Sharon, the "father of contemporary a cappella." Producer of The Sing Off, arranger, on-site musical director, and vocal producer of Pitch Perfect and Pitch Perfect 2, Deke has worked with everyone in a cappella from Pentatonix to Anna Kendrick.

With a focus on fun, education, and building confidence, the festival encourages everyone to take part, no matter their skill set.

Whether you're a music student, music educator or simply a music lover, this festival will help you discover just what you’re capable of, while learning from the best in the industry.
