The weekend was organised by the
Hastings Choristers Inc with the support of a Federal Government “Festivals
Australia” grant. It attracted people from all over Australia to take part in
workshops and massed choir sessions led by some of the leading choral and vocal
teachers in the country. |
 |
 |
Both the
“Humming Birds” concert on the Saturday night and the Festival Concert on
the Sunday were well supported by the public. |
 |
 |
Participants learned about everything
from Gospel and World Music to vocal technique, sight reading and part singing
skills. The vocal master- classes conducted by soprano Jennifer Barnes gave many
of our local singers the chance to work with one of the country’s top singers. |

Organisers Kerryn Lawrence and Gillian
Brotherston worked tirelessly along with Musical Director Robyn Ryan to put on a
weekend that was praised for its superb organisation. |

The generous donation of
the venue for the weekend by MacKillop College also needs to be acknowledged, as
does the contribution of the dozens of volunteers who came together to make the
event the success it was. |
