The sounds of beautiful voices in harmony will soon be ringing through Hampton Park from Saturday 10 September, with an exciting new choir project that aims to bring people of all faiths, ages and cultural backgrounds together in a safe and supportive environment at the Peace Choir Project – Hampton Park.
Play It Forward is thrilled to present this free program celebrating cultural diversity and inclusion, in a new and exciting collaboration with CASEY SINGS! and Hampton Park Uniting Church, proudly supported by the City of Casey with a three-year funding grant.
The Peace Choir Project – Hampton Park launches on Saturday 10 September with a fun come and try workshop and will be led by award winning conductors Jonathon Welch, Founding Artistic Director of Play It Forward, together with Patrick Burns, Play It Forward’s Music Director.
“Play It Forward is honoured to partner with Hampton Park Uniting Church for the first time in this wonderful multifaith inclusive choir project,” Mr Welch said.
