Choir Director / Conductor: Kingsgrove/Bexley North NSW
The Sing Your Heart Out (SYHO) Choir is an enthusiastic community choir with mixed singing abilities, numbering between 15 and 20 members who attend regularly. We are mainly seniors (over 55) and include both male and female members. We are willing to give anything a try and our repertoire is eclectic. We enjoy a challenge and are capable of simple harmonies.
We have been in existence since 2016 and have performed for Bayside Council at the Seniors Festival and the annual Seniors Singalong. We also sing at a local nursing home/aged care village at Christmas time. We have also sung at the Bayside Spring Fair and Citizenship ceremonies. In 2024, along with other choirs, we sang at two charity events to raise money for Médecins Sans Frontieres.
We are looking for someone with enthusiasm, capability and experience in conducting choirs. The choir rehearses Thursday mornings at a Hall in Bexley North from 10:00-11:30am during school terms throughout the year. We can pay $170 per session ($1700 per 10-week term)
