16.01.2022 The NBCA interviewed one of its Old Boys for Encore, comedian and TV star Hamish Blake. He talked about his involvement in the ABC iview series ‘If Only I Knew: Your Mental Health Monologues’ and the importance of kids being themselves in the context of mental health. The interview is a wonderful read, especially this year when the children in our immediate communities have been feeling less connected with each other during Melbourne's COVID-19 lockdowns. You can read t...he interview in the link below. Don't forget that online auditions are on now until the end of October.

13.01.2022 We teach more than just singing! While out on tour last year in South Australia our choristers took a walking tour of the city and were on the lookout for different markers showing the history of where they were visiting. It was so great to see the boys discussing and exploring as they discovered some real treats on their adventures. #tourlife #alwayslearning #musicandhistory #nbca #nationalboyschoirofaustralia ... #2019 #southaustralia #boychoir #exploresouthaustralia See more

03.01.2022 As a New Year's offering, this is 'Walking In The Air' from The Snowman by Howard Blake. For several years now, one of our boys has sung this at Christmas at the Melbourne Recital Centre - but sadly not in 2020. Sung here by Harry, one of our 2020 Choir Captains, it is accompanied by some beautiful Australian photography from Yarra Valley artist Richard Timbury. www.nationalboyschoir.com.au... #nationalboyschoirofaustralia #musiciansmelbourne #choralsinging #Boychoir #choirlife #musicforlife #choir #musician #ColeGadsby #cgmedia #richardtimbury #melbournerecitalcentre #howardblake https://www.richardtimbury.com.au/
