Church Choirs

From the Leader
I have always dreamed of touring Australia with a choral group. Imagine being in Australia with other Church choirs sharing this dream.
I know of some of the grand Cathedrals that Australia boasts as well as many of the churches with a proud tradition of choral music. For me this is almost as big as a thrill as stepping onto the Opera House stage to sing and to conduct.
I am making this dream a reality. Please feel free to join me as we make amazing music in Australia. I am thrilled to be leading all the Church Choirs in massed works at the conclusion of your cycle of individual performances at the Opera House. I am looking forward to this unique moment.
Highlights of the World Voices Church track include:
- 15-minute performance by your choir on the Concert Hall stage of the Opera House
- Participation in rehearsals and workshops for the Church track massed performance piece and performance of the piece as our track's concert finale
- Participation in rehearsal and performance for the festival massed performance, featuring voices from other streams, including young men's, women's, children's and community choirs
- Separate shared performances in the Sydney community as arranged by the organizers - especially being featured in some of the outstanding churches and cathedrals in Australia
- Sightseeing, 3.5 - 4 star hotels, comfortable transport and selected meals
- The possibility of extending your performance tour and sightseeing time in Australia
