In October 2023, Lia, a local podcast creator with 90.1 NBC FM, recorded a special episode after meeting Georges River Voices at the Blackheath Choir Festival. As a keen choir member herself, Lia’s passion for singing and community connection led her to invite the group in for a chat.
A Chance Encounter at Blackheath
The Blackheath Choir Festival is known for bringing together voices from across the region, celebrating harmony, culture, and creativity. It was here that Lia first heard Georges River Voices and was inspired to learn more about the group’s story, members, and their shared love of music.
Meet Sally and the Choir
The episode begins with a conversation with Sally, a member of Georges River Voices. She shares insights into the choir’s origins, its role in the community, and the joy that comes from being part of a group that values connection as much as performance.
Through their discussion, listeners get a behind-the-scenes look at how the choir brings people together, supports local events, and creates opportunities for singers of all levels to find their voice.
