SINGERSWe are looking for singers of diverse levels of experience and skills to join us in April 2015 in performing A Passion for Peace.
CHORUSES Women A large women's chorus of varying skill levels. The music includes some more challenging sections for soloists and small ensembles and some choruses and chorales for less confident singers. However, it would be helpful if most singers joining in February 2015 have some choral or other musical experience, can read music and learn their part quite easily. Please fill in the participation form below and indicate your skill level and whether you are interested in solos and/or ensemble work. Men We might call on some experienced male choristers. Among the possible roles are ghosts of war, politicians, soldiers and male citizens. Please be in touch if you are interested. Children The children’s chorus will play a vital role throughout the work as the future to which the Passion is dedicated. They will lead the opening chorus and have the final word, with the work culminating in a promise to future generations that will involve everyone present. The children's chorus will be mainly the choir of Arawang Primary School, directed by Lynne Kowalik. Please be in touch if your child would like to join the children's chorus. Sometimes the choruses will be combined.
