OUR CURRENT ACTIVITIES
The Ku-ring-gai Male Choir has much pleasure in announcing that Warren Fisher has just been appointed to lead the choir into its 80th year, taking over from Dr Paul Whiting OAM who has been our Music Director for the last 26 years. Our choir is one of the oldest male choirs in New South Wales and is an integral part of the Northern Suburbs community.
Warren strongly believes that everyone should sing, not because it helps brain development, concentration skills or literary and numeracy skills, but because everyone can do it. Warren firmly believes that “When we sing we access areas of our being that may otherwise be left dormant; and it just feels so good.” He has an extensive record of performances in opera and other theatrical activities and over the past few years has led choral activities at Knox Grammar School.
We look forward to his leadership in growing the choir and widening our performance venues.
Our Choir
The Ku-ring-gai Male Choir has been active in Sydney’s Northern suburbs since 1946, when a group of ex-servicemen got together for singing and companionship. We have now been performing for some 79 years, and are one of the oldest choirs in Sydney. As well as our public performances, we take our music to many of the retirement homes in our northern suburbs and beyond.
We are honoured to have the Governor of NSW, Her Excellency, the Hon. Margaret Beazley (A.C, K.C) and Mr Wilson as Joint Vice-Regal Patrons, the Hon. Ms Nicolette Boele (Member for Bradfield) and the Hon. Matt Cross (Member for Davidson) as Friends of the Choir.
Our choir is a longstanding member of the Male Choirs Association of Australia (MCAA).
Our choir is a charity and is registered as such with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission. All donations to the choir are tax deductible. To make a donation, please get in touch with the Choir Secretary (Ken Wade 0408 644 063).
Our Choir performs at retirement villages in the wider Ku-Ring-Gai area. Funds raised at these performances go to The National Braille Music Camp which assists blind children performing music and to the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia.
