YARRA VALLEY SINGERS
Yarra Valley Singers
THE CHOIR
Yarra Valley Singers was founded in 1988 by Elizabeth Maile beginning with 20 members. Today Yarra Valley Singers, directed by Belinda Gillam Derry, has about 100 members across two choirs, and continues to grow. Choir members do not need to audition or be able to sight-read to join. However, as most songs are in four parts (soprano, alto, tenor and bass), it is important that members are able to hold a part.
A committee of volunteers manages the choirs and a fee is charged each term to cover the hire of the rehearsal venue and the cost of the music.
OUR MUSIC
Our repertoire includes a wide range of genres and styles including contemporary, popular, musical comedy, ballads and folk music to opera, classical and sacred choral music.
DAYTIME & EVENING CHOIRS
In 2018, a second daytime choir was established under the direction of Belinda Gillam Derry and supported by the talented Amanda Millar on keyboard. The daytime choir is held on Tuesdays, 10am -12pm and the evening choir on Wednesdays, 7:30pm - 9:30pm.
Both choirs rehearse in Kilsyth at Japara Living & Learning Centre: 54-58 Durham Road, Kilsyth, Vic
New members welcome.
Yarra Valley Singers celebrated their 30th Anniversary in 2018.
