Spring Sing returns
Featuring choirs of the Bega Valley and beyond!
Spring Sing is back again in 2025 on Saturday, 6 September! This all-day singing workshop will take place at the Windsong Pavilion, Barragga Bay, and will be facilitated by local choir directors Dan Scollay and Geoffrey Badger. The event will culminate in a public performance in the afternoon at 3.30 pm.
Spring Sing provides a wonderful opportunity for choirs from the region to come together in a spirit of joy and sharing. Each choir is encouraged to prepare the chosen combined pieces as well as they can before the event. On the day of the workshop, all participants rehearse together to polish these pieces for the final performance.
During the afternoon concert, each choir will perform a couple of short
pieces of their own. The concert will conclude with the performance of the combined pieces.
Spring Sing began in 2014 as a result of a successful Mumbulla Foundation grant and has been held almost every year since.
‘We’re so fortunate to have such a vibrant and well-supported choral scene in the region,’ says Geoffrey, ‘and this means when we come together there are more than 100 voices. The sound is quite incredible!’
Choirs participating this year are: That Bunch of Singers, The Bega Valley Male Voice Choir, Riverbend Choir,
Spirit Allegro, HARK, The Salty Singers and Cooma Cantabile.
The public performance is at the Windsong Pavilion at 3.30 pm with entry by donation. Although it’s a big and exciting sound to listen to as an audience member, it’s much more fun to be a part of the choirs.
