SOS Choir
SPIRIT OF THE STREETS
Our Team
We have many helpers within the choir who assist with setting up for rehearsal and greeting members and visitors as they arrive, checking the safety of venues, organising celebrations, and not forgetting our wonderful Heather Mithen and Anna Ossy-Orley who provide the choir with afternoon tea each week.
Choir Director
Bernard Carney
Born and brought up in Lancashire, UK, he has been a fulltime musician – performing, award winning songwriter, guitar teacher - since arriving in Australia in 1975. Bernard was recently awarded an Order of Australia Medal for his services to music. He and his wife, Eleanor, have strong social consciences as is reflected in their commitment to the choir.
Bass Guitar Player
Devo
Music is Devo’s fulltime passion, whether it be playing it or continuing to learn more about it. He has been the bass guitar player for the choir for more than 10 years.
Operations Committee
The committee is responsible for the ongoing management of the choir and its activities.
