| Murrumbidgee Magic (originally
known as Wagga Wagga Harmony Chorus) was formed in February 1992 after a
visit by the Melbourne Chorus inspired the founding director, Jill Harris,
to start a chorus of women who could learn about barbershop harmony, have a
lot of fun together, and be part of this international organisation of women
singers which numbers approximately 28,000 worldwide.
The chorus has performed for many local
groups, and had numerous concerts in Wagga Wagga and district, including the
popular annual International Womens’ Day concert in support of Northcott.
They are also an established part of the Wagga Wagga Australia Day
celebrations, and the Wagga Wagga Jazz Festival, and they have been regular
prize winners at the Wagga Wagga Eisteddfod over a number of years. They
have also been successful in national competition, most recently placing 1st
in the Small Chorus division at the Hobart Convention in 2009 after also taking out the gold in 2008!
