The Committee of Management are thrilled to announce that Christine Storey will commence as ARCappella’s new choral director on Wednesday 21st April 2021. Christine is highly regarded and experienced choral conductor, voice teacher, arts administrator, workshop presenter, classroom teacher and singer. Welcome Christine! We look forward to working with you as we commence a new chapter for our choir.

Melbourne turned on a beautiful day for us as we farewelled David Perry, our wonderful Choral Director of (almost) 13 years with a concert at the Fairfield Amphitheatre on 29th March. The mini-concert combined with the ARC Children’s and Youth Choirs was also a great opportunity for our newest choir members to perform at their first concert ever, and the regulars’ first concert since December 2019 after which COVID locked us down.

Good bye and good luck with your future endeavours David. You’ll be greatly missed! Hope to see you again when you visit Melbourne.

We are also excited to announce that ARCappella continue in Term 2 under the guidence of a new Choral Director. Details to be revealed soon!

ARCappella are seeking a dynamic, experienced choral director to take the reins of our established, well known Preston community choir from Term 2 2021.
