Yallourn Madrigal Singers

Bronwyn Morrisey. Co-director of music.

Bronwyn grew up in Yallourn, and her earliest memories of hearing choral music are of attending the Yallourn Madrigal Singers Christmas concerts with her mother and sister. 

Her first experience of singing in a choir was when she sang in her school’s chapel choir and then the Monash University chapel choir.

She joined the Yallourn Madrigal Singers in 1984 and has sung with them on a number of occasions since.

Bronwyn started her musical life learning the piano with Mr. Ivan Larsen and eventually completed HSC piano and AMEB Fifth Grade flute.

While at University she completed a BA with honours in non-western music. She wrote her honours thesis about the music of the Huli people of the Southern Highlands District of Papua New Guinea.

Bronwyn worked as a teacher in primary schools and later in special education, using her music to enhance her teaching with classroom singing, choirs and recorder groups.

Bronwyn has co-directed the Yallourn Madrigals with Sophy since 2018. She enjoys conducting and has been able to develop her conducting skills by attending the ACCET choral conducting summer school in Melbourne each January.
