CHORALE
The Barwon Heads Chorale was the creation and vision of well-known local resident and music lover Jo Larson. She asked Natale Lewington to be the Chorale Director and Hazel Mitchell to be the Accompanist. With the retirement of Hazel at the end of 2015, choir member Sara Brownell took up the challenge of working as accompanist for the Chorale.
In 2021, Natale moved to the Mornington Peninsula, and with another year of not meeting during COVID, a new Musical Director Dr Terry Norman commenced in 2022. Terry has led the Chorale for 3 years now and encourages a wide range of music for Chorale members. He strongly believes that the Chorale has come a long way and is performing really well.

The Chorale draws members from all over the Bellarine Peninsula, the Surf Coast and the greater Geelong area, with some members travelling from Melbourne and Ballarat to attend rehearsals.
