Who runs echoir.lismore?

echoir.Lismore is part of a new adventure by choirleader and composer Bruce McNicol from Lismore NSW.
echoir.Lismore plans to run each song as a one day weekend workshop, with just one prior evening rehearsal.
You'll learn your part from print and audio copies uploaded to your computer as soon as you submit the enrolment form.
Your parts, rehearsal and workshop fee per song will only total $20.
You are asked to commit to one song at a time.
Hopefully, members of other choirs will attend these events (at half price).
If you're busy or away for the next month, simply skip a song.
There will be an editing and learning period between each song.
Bruce's choir experience began in childhood, at school and church.
In the last 15 years on the North Coast he has led the Nimbin Community choir,
Lismore's Gregarious Chance (2 albums, many festivals, 10 years),
and Voices Together (Lismore's reconciliation choir,
which he led for its first two years at the invitation of the local reconciliation council).
He has also waved his arms about more recently for choirs at Illawarra and Moorambilla Festivals,
and sang in Lismore's Show Choir, Carl Orff's Carmina Burana in 2007,
and several other community based choir and orchestra events.

OZechoir - to disseminate original OZ works.
Many choir pieces are performed once or twice then shelved.
Get new repertoire, or offer your originals (or arrangements from the public domain) to others.

Bruce's own website has a choral page listing 15 works(each with comment, lyrics, first page of score), plus pages for songs, poetry, prose, discography etc.
