 Pip Thomson, Resonance of Birralee
Executive Assistant
When did you join Voices of Birralee? After being so heavily involved in the music program at school, I went on to do Music and Education at QUT. I was in the QUT Chorale, however needed something more! Sarah McDonald suggested I should join, as Resonance was going to Graz, Austria in 2008... and I've had choir every Tuesday night ever since!
Favourite songs in Birralee's repertoire? I've written this section about three times now...I have so many favourites!! The Parting Glass, The Secret World, Butterflies Dance. I've probably sung about 100 songs over the past 10 years... I can't choose!!
What do you enjoy about singing with Birralee? Making music with your best friends, and travelling the world with them. Since 2008, I've travelled to Austria, Prague, London, Czech Republic, and France... all on choir tours! I love the joy that music brings to people, no matter what language they speak. As Keith Richards said, "Music is a language that doesn't speak in particular words. It speaks in emotions."
Why do you sing? I sing because I love it. There's no other way to put it. If I've had a difficult day at work, I can put on some music and belt it out. I don't care if people see me belting out a tune at the lights. I did Music and Education at QUT. You'll notice from my occupation that it doesn't involve music (I actually work in sport!). However, I teach flute and piano on Saturdays, and with choir on Tuesdays, the balance is perfect for me! |

 Angela Bradbury,
Birralee Piccolos
Kinder
When did you join Voices of Birralee and why? I joined this year because I was old enough. (almost). I love singing.
Favourite pieces? I love all of them.
What do you enjoy about singing? I enjoy choir because I love singing. I learn different songs everyday. My choir teacher is very nice.
Why do you sing? I sing because it makes me think of my Mum, because she sings in the opera for work. Singing makes me happy. I want to sing for a job. |
