Voice Weavers is a community choir of men and women of all ages and backgrounds based in Tweed Heads and Coolangatta. We sing in the aCappella style from a diverse repertoire of easily accessible music.
APPOINTMENT OF our
NEWmusic DIRECTOR
We would like to welcome and introduce our new Music Director, Christine Madden. Chris has been a member of the choir since 2017 and recently became Assistant Director. When the Music Director position first became vacant she was happy to remain as Assistant Director, having a pretty busy life as it was, but, on reflection, and happily for us, decided to put her hand up to take it on!
Chris has a B.A.Mus.Ed (major studies Flute, Bassoon) Grad Qld Conservatorium of Music 1979 A.Mus.A - Flute LTCL (prac) and has spent her working life as a music educator, director and conductor. She has worked with sections of our choir, like the Altos when we visited Japan and helping our Bass section grow and become strong. Chris has also been very involved with our small groups, helping singers become confident holding their harmony parts.
She said: "I am a Director who is all about community and I understand the joy and bonding power of making music together!
So I am very much looking forward to working with Voice Weavers to gain the highest musical standards we can, while bringing enjoyable and interesting performances to our audiences."
And the choir is looking forward to her leadership!
Voice Weavers next EVENT
Voice Weavers would like to wish you all a safe and happy Christmas and holiday season with our last virtual choir video, Jingle Bells. We completed 11 virtual choir videos in 8 months and Zoomed once a week to keep our choir engaged and connected. We are now looking forward to recommencing live rehearsals in February, all things going well, and you never know, there is some interest in continuing the virtual videos!
COVID 19 REHEARSALS
How does a choir continue when locked out of their auditorium and staying at home?
The choir's fully embraced our online rehearsals.
We've been busy singing during Covid, completing compilation videos and audio tracks. Each singer makes their own video/audio and our very kind, in-house online editor compiles the finished product. She's very clever! Check it out.
REHEARSALS
After a long time away from the Civic Centre we have returned for rehearsal and are hopefully back there for good as COVID19 restrictions have eased in New South Wales.
Wednesdays 6:30pm for a 7.00 pm start
Tweed Heads Civic Centre Auditorium
Cnr Wharf & Brett Sts, Tweed Heads NSW 2485
Interested singers can Join us for the vocal craft session at the beginning of the night, then take a seat and observe our rehearsals. You'll have access to a music book to follow along.
