Southland is an occasional touring choir. Since 2012, we have sung in several festivals and choral competitions in Europe and one in Vietnam. Southland has achieved Bronze ands Silver level awards in international competitions.
We also perform in Australian festivals, for local Music Clubs and for charity.
Southland is unusual in that we live many kilometers apart and gather to rehearse once a month. Our fabulous Conductor and Musical Director is Lesley Challender. She inspires us and brings us to performance standard.
Our repertoire includes works by 20th and 21st century Australian composers. We find overseas audiences appreciate the particularly Australian harmonies, styles and sounds of our repertoire. They really enjoy our traditional songs and indigenous themed works, and our friendly Aussie style.
We’re looking forward to continuing the joys of sharing music with others.
