Are you or a loved one a member of a choir? The nation’s singers have until 18 October to apply for the chance to perform at Anzac Day services in France from 2015-2019.
This includes commemorations marking the centenary of the First World War.
Expressions of Interest are open to experienced youth, school or community choral groups, comprising a maximum of 30 choristers over the age of 15, of mixed gender and representative of the Australian community.
The successful choral group will participate in, and support, Anzac Day services in France in 2015 as an initial trial, with an option to extend the arrangement for four years to 2019.
Around 4,000 people attend the Anzac Day Dawn Service at the Australian National Memorial near Villers-Bretonneux, France on 25 April each year. The service is also broadcast live to Australia.
Following the Dawn Service, the choir may also play a supporting role at French commemorative services in surrounding towns, followed by an additional Australian commemorative service at a nearby memorial.
Further information on this exciting and unique opportunity for youth choirs to honour Australian service on the Western Front battlefields is available here: www.dva.gov.au/france
Expressions of interest close on Friday 18, October 2013.
