| HONEYBEES CHOIR SYDNEY We are not a religious choir, but are united in our love of the uplifting and passionate quality of the gospel genre. Our repertoire includes traditional gospel songs, as well as modern gospel-inspired numbers, which draw on related musical styles such as soul, R & B and jazz.
The Bees came together in 1996 under the direction of acclaimed singer-songwriter Tony Backhouse. Dynes Austin was our MD from 2003 through to 2009. Under his leadership, we expanded our gospel repertoire and embraced many new performance opportunities. In April, 2010 we welcomed Stephen Clarke as our new Musical Director. We enjoy performing and are involved in approximately 12 gigs each year. Commitment to rehearsals and to performing at gigs is a requirement of membership. We choose to perform – either paid or unpaid – at gigs which have meaning to us and which can signal support for an issue, a cause, or a service. Over the years, we have performed in many venues at a wide range of events including concerts and special services, weddings and funerals, fundraising events, book launches and theatrical performances.
