15.01.2022 I have been experimenting with ways that the choirs I am MD for can keep singing while we are under lockdown in Melbourne and into the future. To this end I hav...e created a resource called Sing Together While Apart. Head over to my website for more info. One of the songs we learn together is an SATB arrangement of Down in the River to Pray. Eagle eyes might spot a stunt singer on the Bass line! #singtogetherwhileapart #downintherivertopray #choralsinging #ladyconductor #femaleconductor #conductrix #covid_19 #choirs #choirsinging #mosaicchoir #morningtonpeninsulachorale #frankstonmusicsocietyinc #morningtonpeninsula #melbourneartscene #fruitbowlproductions #dendyparkcarols #kingstonarts See more
