Morningsong

About

MORNINGSONG is an a strongly supported vibrant and dynamic community singing group. We currently have a waiting list for women singers, but men singers are still on the wanted list. It is held in Bulimba on Friday mornings from 9.30 - 11.30. First session is free. There are no auditions and you don't have to read music as all songs are taught by ear. It is non-religious, although there is always room for a beautiful gospel song to slip into the repertoire. There is no "choralography" required. We sing a great variety of music: modern classical, Trad., anon., shanties, world-songs and amazing spontaneous harmony.

Morningsong is based on fun and inclusion in a friendly environment. It is all about singing together and creating wonderful harmonies, rather than performing. Just bring your passion for singing, a love of learning and a sense of humour.

We have men and women who come from all over Brisbane to sing together Friday morning. They range in age from 21 to about 70 and have a variety of experiences from none to professional singer. After singing most of us go out to lunch at a cafe on Oxford Street.

Morningsong is led by Jane Becktel, who has been leading choirs for a couple of decades and finds no greater joy than showing people how fulfilling and easy it is to sing together in harmony.

In May 2011, it will be co-directed by the vibrant and talented duo John Thompson and Nicole Murry from the group Cloudstreet.
