2009 Primary Schools Choral Festival

All primary schools are invited to be a part of the 2009 Primary Schools Choral program.

In 2009, five exciting concerts featuring combined primary school choirs of 700 voices and outstanding individual school items will be presented in the Concert Hall of the Sydney Opera House.

The 2009 repertoire will feature an array of choral works both challenging and diverse for primary school choirs including a new set of songs by Australian composer Ian Jefferson accompanied by a full symphony orchestra. The repertoire also includes the enchanting Ordinary Miracle from Charlotte’s Web, two songs in foreign languages: Hashivenu and Gloria Deo as well as classics from musicals such as I’ve Never Seen Anything Like It from Doctor Dolittle and Where is Love? from Oliver!

Schools are encouraged to audition choirs of up to 36 students capable of singing in two parts. Successful schools are selected for one performance only.  A participation fee of $30.00 (plus GST) per student will be payable upon acceptance into the program.

Every public school applying will have access to comprehensive teacher professional learning and the 2009 Primary Choral repertoire and teaching CDs. Teachers may opt to attend just the professional learning component of the program.
