Sing Australia chosen for Gallipoli

FYSHWICK, AUSTRALIA — Sing Australia, the national choral
group with more than 60 choir groups across the nation, has been
chosen to sing at the Anzac Day commemoration in Gallipoli.

The group will take up to 35 people to Turkey for the April 25
services.

They were chosen following a selection process which sought
interest from community choral groups across the country.

Sing Australia had encouraged and trained Australians to sing
for more than 25 years, Veterans Affairs Minister Warren Snowdon
said.

“The organisation has a great deal of experience singing in
front of large crowds on days such as Australia Day and has
supported Anzac Day commemorations at Gallipoli for the past six
years,” he said in a statement.

Mr Snowdon said the choir would be supported by musicians from
the Australian and New Zealand Defence Forces.
