  I am a founding member of Adelaide Threshold Singers, a chapter of the international network of Threshold Choirs, groups that sing for people who are dying or on a significant life threshold. I became Musical Director for Adelaide Threshold Singers in 2016. I have been a member of the Tutti Choir since 1999. Tutti began in 1997 as a recreation option for clients of Minda Incorporated, a service for people with intellectual disability. The Choir is now a small part of Tutti Arts, an organisation that provides training and performance/exhibition opportunities for performance and visual artists with intellectual disability.
