Dalys took over leadership of the local choir ‘Cockatoo Sings’ in 2017. Since then it has grown from a humble group of about 6, to a full blown, joyous choir with around 45 members.
They perform in a variety of venues throughout the community and sing a wide range of music in 2 to 5 part harmony.
The Lyrebirds rehearse in Cockatoo on Monday nights during the Victorian public school terms. All ages, All abilities, All welcome.
