SUPPORT THE CHOIR
The Choir’s mission is to enrich, inspire and transform lives through music and lifelong learning, strengthening our exciting and vibrant community.
Nelson Civic Choir is a vital part of the Nelson community. As well as producing excellent choral concerts to sold-out audiences several times a year, members of the choir also enjoy the friendships which are part of attending weekly rehearsals, occasional weekend workshops and social functions. Your generous support will allow us to continue to mount choral concerts around Nelson with high production values and a standard of musical and choral excellence.
By offering your financial support to our choral community, you will be contributing to a rich and colourful future, as well as honouring the past.
Jason Balla – Music & Artistic Director
Jason has had a life immersed in music, from Wales to Oxford to London, and from Europe on to the USA and the Lyric Opera of Chicago. With more than 40 years experience performing on the international concert stage and major opera houses he brings to Nelson all of the talent, knowledge and experience necessary to develop the Nelson Civic Choir – in numbers and vocal strength – into the thriving community group it has now become. Jason has a great vision for future productions.
With your valuable financial support we will make it happen.
