So Many Events To Choose
So Little Time

Some of our recommendations but check the program for yourself.

Some of Victoria's finest community choirs will perform alongside our own Daylesford Primary School Choir, with the special drawcard of THECHOIR directed by Jonathan Welch (formerly of the Choir of Hard Knocks.) All choirs will entertain with 25 minute brackets hich include at least one song by an Italian composer.

The program includes well known Italian choral groups Coro Furlan, Le Canterine Del Fogalar and Gruppo Culturale Italiano, an outstanding regional choir - the Sweet Mona's and the return of 3 outstanding performers from last year - The Keytones, the Pollyphonics and the Brimbank Multicultural Choir, with the Finale by THECHOIR led by Jonathan Welch.

Sunday 18

This is the time for our local Daylesford Primary School Choirs to shine along side such great choirs as Willin Wimmen, Singularity, Western Region Concert Choir, Gruppo Culturale Italiano and the much loved Trade Union Choir.
