As well as attending weekly rehearsals, the members of this ensemble are committed to music studies and/or voice training. They also participate in a variety of wonderful performance opportunities, recordings and a touring program.
Brisbane Birralee Voices is acknowledged on home shores and abroad as one of Australia's finest children's choirs. The program encourages young singers to develop their vocal technique and attain musical excellence and there is a strong focus on nurturing the individual in a broader sense.
In addition to the excitement of achieving high artistic goals and the personal enrichment experienced by each member, there is an emphasis placed on the benefits of sharing their gift of music with others and the intrinsic value of music within society. This helps develop generosity of spirit, tolerance and acceptance of cultural diversity.
They meet the demands of their performance and touring schedule by having a strong commitment to regular attendance and by being willing to revise and learn in their own time. The ensemble performs at many events within south-east Queensland including civic, corporate, charity and community events. One of their favorite annual engagements is the Spirit of Christmas held at QPAC.
2012 highlights included touring New Zealand, conference and function performances at BCEC, QPAC, Sofitel, Brisbane Powerhouse. A memorable performance of the Lord of the Rings Fellowship of the Ring live with The Queensland Orchestra and recording for 'Sing we now of Christmas' Christmas CD released Nov 3, 2012.
