The Tudor Consort
was invited to participate in the 35th Tolosa International Choral Competition in Spain in October 2003. The Tolosa competition is one of the oldest and most prestigious of the European choral competitions with choirs from Europe, England, Asia and the Americas meeting annually to hear other performers, demonstrate their own vocal artistry, and experience music-making in a fine selection of some of the oldest and most beautiful venues in the Basque Country of Spain.

Taking part in an international event of this type is a rare opportunity for New Zealand musicians to present our music and music-making to a wider international audience and to learn by watching others from different nations and cultures do the same.
The Tudor Consort entered two of the competition's modalities, Musica Religiosa and Musica Profana. In the Musica Religiosa category, the group was awarded the silver medal; in the Musica Profana category, the group was awarded the bronze.
