Songs in the Key of She – Coonamble
$1000 (grant from private provider)
The Moorambilla “Songs in the Key of She” (Coonamble
Chapter) project promotes and encourages Coonamble
women to sing together. It provides skills and
support for the development of a women’s choir which
will work in with the 2007 theme of the Moorambilla
Festival of New Australian Music which is “Women and
Girls” (2006 supported men and boys). Conductor and
artistic/festival director Michelle Leonard came to
Coonamble to host 2 women’s choir practices at the
Plaza Theatre in
Main Street.
This project raises the profile of women and gives
them the same opportunity enjoyed by the “Songs in
the Key of Bloke” ensemble which was so successful
in 2005 (during the Leichhardt Espresso Chorus
“Songs for the Outback” Tour) and 2006
(Moorambilla).
Songs in the Key of She also received an additional
$1600 from Regional Arts NSW CASP funding for
rehearsal workshops held on Fri 29 / Sat 30 June
2007 @ The Plaza Theatre
