2025 was a terrific year for the East of the Ranges cohort. We think it was our best concert yet with a great love of the chosen repertoire, a full and rich choral sound from our 150 students, confident part work, crisp choreography, outstanding guest artists to inspire us, led by the most energetic conductors you've ever seen: Ben Graefe (Kadina Memorial School) and Indra Benson (McLaren Flat Primary School). The audience and performers were truly buzzing at the end of the night. It was also a chance for us to honour and recognise the many years of service of Margie Symonds, who has given her heart and soul to the running of this East of the Ranges Choir festival up until 2025. Without people like Margye, Regional kids would not get this amazing opportunity to be part of this incredible program.
We look forward to welcoming more students to our festival in 2026 and building on the great legacy that Margie has begun in our region.
