Cloud9 Women’s Choir
Cloud9 is a community based four part women’s choir that sings a wide range of traditional and contemporary music. We feel that a women’s choir makes a unique sound that highlights the beauty of women’s voices singing in harmony. The choir has about 35 members who come together to share the joy of singing and the development of musical excellence in a warm and welcoming ensemble environment.
We rehearse under the guidance of a music director at the North Balwyn Church every Thursday from 7.30 to 9.30 pm and new members are welcome. Cloud9 Women’s Choir is a not-for-profit group and is a member of the Australian National Choral Association. A term fee is payable to cover costs. Every effort is made to keep fees to a minimum.
For more information about the choir or how to join, please visit the website (www.cloud9womenschoir.com) or email: cloud9womenschoir@gmail.com.
