Big Voice Community Choir

Big Voice Choir – Brunswick Heads

I seem destined to start choirs wherever I go. I grew up singing in choirs – and I love the sound, the spirit, the collective energy, the miracle of creating big music with simple voices.

My choirs work in 10 week terms, four terms a year. They are generally 20 to 30 voices, men and women, and at the end of each term I like to do some kind of performance. Songs range from pop songs (Chasing Cars), folk songs, and increasingly I am writing original material for choirs, or arranging songs by local songwriters. It helps to read music, or have had some singing experience.

Mondays 5.30pm to 7.30pm – at Brunswick Picture House, Fingal Street, Brunswick Heads NSW 

Term 1 2023: Commences Monday 16 January 2023 

10 week terms x 4 per year

Cost: $200/$180 per term payable in cash or online via www.songdynastymusic.com

Musical Direction – Janet Swain (0438965397)

Admin: Wendy Mahoney
