A joyous event recently saw people of all ages raise their voice and express themselves through song at the community ‘Big Sing’.
Held at St Margaret’s Berwick Grammar on Saturday 6 August, the event was inclusive of the entire community.
“We had people from six years old through to elderly participating and it was a super fun afternoon,” Melbourne Youth Chorale president Kerry Alexander said.
“It was fun. We often do formal performances, but this one was more like a relaxing get-together with the wider community to discover and enjoy music together.”
Guest presenters Trevor Jones, Marten Visser, Monika Harris and Naomi Heyden ran choral workshops for Junior Primary, Upper Primary, Secondary and Adult streams.
A concert performing the songs from the afternoon workshops was held in the evening by Melbourne Youth Chorale, Daughters of the King and Casey Choir, and a solo was performed by upcoming artist Yardley Wynne-York.
Ms Alexander thanked the City of Casey and EnergyWired Solar for sponsoring the event that united young and old.
She said she received positive feedback following the event.
“I had an attendee say, ‘Congratulations on such a fun successful day and that it was such a joy to be a part of a great afternoon of singing’. They also said it was great to see young people joining in.”
