Mission and Organisation
We aspire as a choir to perform concerts with high quality choral art for our enjoyment and that of the community of the Macedon Ranges and its neighbours, and in so doing to provide opportunities for the development of the choral singing skill of our members.   We
  • Seek to nurture people with musical talent in the community and encourage participation of local musicians in our concerts.
  • Offer a wide repertoire of music in recognition of a diversity of musical taste in the community
  • Are a non-profit organization whose commercial success remains important only to the fulfillment of our aims.

​The choir has an annually appointed  committee which manages the choir's business. Additionally, members (and families) of the choir contribute in many ways to our successes  (e.g. fund raising, setup, publicity, video, audio)  to share the workload.  Members are kept informed of activities via the president and the choir's email list.

Funds raised by concerts and other events all go towards sustaining the choir.  For example, we are fortunate to perform with professional singers and orchestral players at many of our concerts

Join 
The Gisborne Singers is not an auditioned choir.   If you are interested in joining, then please contact us, come along to a friendly rehearsal or two, join in, and see if we are what you are looking for.  We perform major choral works, so the ability to read music and sight sing is certainly helpful, but by no means essential. We are always looking for new members, especially tenors and basses !

Rehearsals are held on Tuesday evenings from 19:20 to 21:45 (with a 20 min tea break) at the Holy Cross Primary School in New Gisborne.  When we are gearing up for performance, there are usually extra dress rehearsals during the week.
