The Northern Rivers Folk Choirs

IMG_3514.jpg

The Northern Rivers Folk Choirs, directed by Peter Lehner,
have inspired tentative singers to become soloists, and local musicians to collaborate with a full size choir.

A tour is organised each year.. last year they went on Stop Adani Convoy! They toured to PNG SEPIK RIVER CROCODILE FESTIVAL in 2018! National Folk Festival, Canberra 2017, Wellington to Christchurch, Aotearoa 2016, sang weekly at Bentley Blockade 2014, Tara Gasfields Qld 2013, and Glen Innes Celtic Festival 2012.
 

they WERE touring  to CUBA, it's still a plan for someday, hopefully in 2 years?!

Locally they are well known for fun, poignant performances at all sorts of community events including Boomerang Festival, Day of The Dead, Living Earth Festival, Lismore Lantern Parade, Mullum Music Festival and O'Heart Festival.

We celebrate our community and Country. It is joyful, great fun and healing." - Jan Lavis.

I love this choir!. It's an inclusive gathering. We sing great songs with really good arrangements by the one and only Peter Lehner. Peter offers a totally safe and feel good environment for us to sing. I do it because it's not only fun but health giving. Look forward to my Tuesday nights so much. - @Timi Bell
