Border Choral Voice, a fundraiser for Wewak Street School's Music-Ability program, has been expanded to include a series of school workshops on Friday, August 2, with public workshops, masterclasses and a mass choir concert the next day.
Last year's conductor Jonathon Welch, the founding artistic director of the Choir of Hard Knocks, will again guide the singers, with an informal choir event also added to Friday evening.
IN OTHER NEWS:
Organised by the Rotary Club of Albury North, SS&A Albury and Murray Conservatorium, Border Choral Voice last year donated $10,000 to Wewak Street School.
Conservatorium acting chief executive Jenny O'Hara said NSW Department of Education funding helped make the school workshops possible.
"The thinking is to bring multiple public schools together, so we can all work together to support Wewak Street School and still everyone gets the benefits of music education," she said.
