Grant so choirs can sing

BALLARAT Choral Society has received support from the Regional Arts Fund to mentor Colac Chorale and bring musical performances to audiences in both cities and beyond.

The collaboration will culminate in two performances of Vivaldi’s Gloria in D to be held in Colac and Ballarat on 4 and 5 May. The two choirs will be accompanied by a professional chamber orchestra from Geelong.

Each choir will also perform individually, with Ballarat Choral Society taking a Shakespearian theme.

The Regional Arts Fund will allow employment of regional professional musicians, mentoring of Colac Chorale with master classes, production, stagecraft and promotions assistance.

The members of both choirs will benefit from the tuition of Musical Director, Helen Duggan, who will conduct the performances.
