SINGING IN 2024: COME JOIN US!
| Just a reminder that registrations are now open for the 2024 Arts Yackandandah Folk Festival Choir. We have a team of four to lead the choir this year. Leanne Murphy will be leading the adult choir, bringing with her years of experience leading community singing groups and workshops. She’ll be assisted by Chris McGorlick, who will be fulfilling a similar role to 2023. The children’s choir will be formalised and expanded this year, under the direction of Aaron Silver. Aaron has led the adult choir in previous years, and in 2024 will be using his experience as a primary school music educator to a establish a more formalised children’s choir.
