My Choirs .................
I run 3 community choirs in Sydney, Australia. All are a good mix of male and female singers, and we sing everything in four parts (SATB) acappella. Some groups also feature soloists.
The emphasis is always on enjoyment and covering a variety of singing styles, rather than the rigid pursuit of perfection. Â All of the choirs perform several times a year, some more so than others.
We also have a week-end retreat each year in the Blue Mountains with guest workshop leaders in related fields

I Sing on the Cake .. meets at 7:30 on Thursday nights at St Martins Hall, Todman Ave., Kensington
This long-standing and very musical choir was started by Kate Swadling, but I have been directing it for several years.
The obscure name was chosen from a number of excellent punning suggestions, many of which included variations on Timber/Timbre. Â The group started following an appearance on a TV lifestyle show of an Isingonthecake rehearsal. Â I was inundated with calls and decided to start a new group in late 2002.
This choir been together since the mid-90's, has recorded 2 CDs and is featured on a compilation of Sydney cappella music, to be released in late 2003.
