Who We Are
We're a group of women 18 years and over who love music. We're passionate about choral singing, enjoy a challenge and take pleasure in performing for and entertaining others. We do not audition for the choir and while some members read music this is not a prerequisite.
We usually sing in 3 parts (SSA) and are led by our highly accomplished musical director and piano accompanist. We raise funds through membership fees, concerts and grants and we endeavour to assist a charity each year
At the end of each term we meet socially for dinner and celebrate our achievements.
A dedicated committee oversees the day-to-day management of the choir.
Musical Director - Kirsty Doherty
Bachelor of Music Education (UWA)
Kirsty is a professional songwriter, pianist, choir conductor, performer and teacher. She leads her own 7-piece band, Sgt. Hulka, which performs at venues throughout WA. The band is a sparkly explosion of dynamic vocals, punchy rhythms with old school vibes with a modern flare. Sgt. Hulka was a WAM Song of the Year Nominee ’23 and a finalist for Listen Up! National Songwriting Prize.
Kirsty is a committed supporter of community choirs. In her words: “I believe in the community a choir provides. When people sing together, their heartbeats synch. Although I always strive for my choirs to improve and grow, I am also very nurturing and ensure everyone feels welcome and heard. A choir that enjoys what they’re doing learns better and sings better.”
Kirsty has been the Musical Director of the Fremantle Women’s Choir since July 2023
