Geelong Harmony’s new Musical Director!

Geelong Harmony Chorus has a new Musical Director at the helm and we’re more than a bit excited about it! With eight years as Assistant Director, the supremely talented and experienced Michelle Roy has stepped up as our sixth MD since GHC chartered back on May 1, 1994.
 
A graduate from the Victorian College of the Arts, Michelle has had a broad range of performance experience from being a soloist to local musical theatre and opera. Michelle’s association with Geelong Harmony spans nearly 30 years and has been the Assistant Director for the past eight. She has directed a men’s chorus and has been a member of two medal-winning quartets. Her current quartet is the very popular Three Docs & A Diva. 
‘I’m very honoured and excited to be the new Musical Director of this wonderful ensemble of singers’, said Michelle. We think the feeling’s mutual Michelle! 

A big ‘Thank You!’ to Geelong Connected Communities…

We are so lucky to have such amazing community support, as well as the wonderful support provided by our Chorus extended family.  A grant from Geelong Connected Communities has allowed us to finish our new storage shed with a much needed concrete floor, ably installed by some awesome Geelong Harmony hubbies!  We are extremely grateful to all who played a part in bringing this all together.

The Chorus also gained third place in a field of 13 in the medium chorus division. A panel of four International judges awarded a total score of 592, the highest ever achieved by Geelong Harmony.

Sing with Geelong Harmony

Come and sing with us! Geelong Harmony is well known for our beautiful four-part a cappella harmonies – and we’re looking for new singers to join us! Call Marg on 0406 666 737 for more details, or come and watch us rehearse on a Monday night from 6.45 to 9.30 pm at the Western Heights Uniting Church Hall, Douglass Street, Herne Hill. Geelong Harmony offers you fun AND seriously good singing. We learn our repertoire from high quality recordings and sheet music. Our Musical Director provides vocal coaching to everyone as we rehearse. Coaches from Canada, the US, Sweden and Australia also instruct us during special workshops on voice production, harmony singing techniques, stage presence and performance skills. We perform at local Citizenship Ceremonies and festivals, like Geelong After Dark. And each year we have the opportunity to perform interstate at the Sweet Adelines Australia Convention.
