Wayfarers Australia was started in 1997 by composer/choral conductor/music educator Judith Clingan AM. From its inception, the choir has been an Australia-wide organisation with the aim of giving people of all ages and backgrounds the opportunity to discover the joys of choral singing.
Judith Clingan AM has been a professional composer, performer, conductor and music/music theatre educator for 45 years. She regularly holds Imagine Music Theatre workshops in Canberra, and has written music for and in conjunction with several choirs including The Chorus of Women in Canberra.
In 2012, a group of between 15 and 20 Wayfarers will be travelling to schools and performance venues within Australia and overseas to perform concerts and provide workshops for Steiner schools.
To begin our tour, we need to raise over $40,000. To help us reach this goal, you can pledge a donation at crowdfunding website Pozible. Rewards are on offer for pledges including personalised postcards and free concert tickets.
