No Excuses! women's project choir - rehearsals commence this Sunday 24th April in Sunshine

No Excuses! Is a new song suite created by composers Christina Green and Kathleen McGuire, focusing upon family violence and domestic abuse, with real stories of struggle and inspirational resilience as shared by women from Melbourne's western suburbs. We are inviting singers and choirs to join the No Excuses! massed women's choir, presented by the School of Hard Knocks and the Brimbank City Council. The No Excuses! Project is supported by the Victorian Government through Creative Victoria. No Excuses! will be performed by women singers and instrumentalists at a City of Brimbank event (date tbc) and at the Melbourne International Singers Festival (MISF) over the Queen's Birthday weekend, 10th - 13th June 2016. Audiences will be empowered by messages of solidarity and hope. Rehearsals for the women's choir will commence in Sunshine on April 24th, led by the composers, Dr Kathleen McGuire and Christina Green.
