FROM THE CHAIR

What a wonderful year for singing it has been so far. We’ve been treated to a host of uplifting and inspiring concerts, topped off by an international tour to Aotearoa/New Zealand. All the while, our singers have learned new skills, perfected current skills and grown as both singers and individuals.

AOTEAROA: LAND OF THE LONG WHITE CLOUD
We have been proud to resume touring internationally in this, our 85th year. Forty-five young people and five adults gathered at Melbourne Airport on September 21, for eight days in New Zealand. Despite the 6:00am sign-in time, everyone was all set... luggage packed and smiles on their faces.
