The Angry Women’s Choir
2 July 2023 | 7:30PM | Hobart Town Hall
May We Sing Together, Always
The Angry Women’s Choir by local author and choir enthusiast Meg Bignell, and its message of boisterous camaraderie and friendship is the inspiration for this workshop. This will be an opportunity for singers to reconnect with choral friends from the past, as well as meet new choral enthusiasts.
Joined by the author herself, four carefully chosen and contrasting songs will be introduced and led by Sarah Atkinson and Joan Wright OAM, accompanied by Elizabeth Rockliff. Meg will speak briefly about her book prior to joining the choir.
This event is designed to be a fun and rewarding two-hour sing without the pressure of a performance outcome as you join like-minded singers for the simple joy of making music together. This event is designed specifically for soprano and alto voices.
The songs selected for this event are:
* Sing Gently – Eric Whitacre
* Lullabye – Billy Joel
* Lift Thine Eyes – Mendelssohn
* Trolley Song – Lyrics by Hugh Martin and music by Ralph Blane
Meg will be happy to sign your personal copies of her book during the mid- session coffee break.

When she steps outside her calendar and is accidentally thrown into the generous bosom of the West Moonah Women’s Choir, she finds music, laughter, friendship and a humming wellspring of rage. With the ready acceptance of the colourful choristers, Frey learns that voices can move mountains, fury can be kind and life can do with a bit of ruining.
Together, Frey and the choir sing their anger, they breathe it in and stitch it up, belt it out and spin it into a fierce, driving beat that will kick the system square in the balls, and possibly demolish them all.
