Who are they?
Brisbane Birralee Voices (BBV) is a choir for young people aged 12 - 17 who have a love for singing with others and a desire to create choral music of a high standard across a variety of styles. BBV is acknowledged on home shores and abroad as one of Australia's finest children's choirs. The program encourages young singers to develop their vocal technique and attain musical excellence. In addition to the excitement of achieving high artistic goals and the personal enrichment experienced by each member, there is an emphasis placed on the benefits of sharing their gift of music with others and the intrinsic value of music within society.
BBV enjoy performing by themselves, with other arts organisations such as the Queensland Symphony Orchestra, the Queensland Pops Orchestra and as part of the cast for QPACs Spirit of Christmas. They also enjoy performing in the community for various charities and with schools.
