Vision
Our vision is bold! We aim to create a regional choir of excellence that encompasses our regional children and youth. Our children will work with recognised leaders in their field to create, perform and record repertoire that gathers its core artistic inspiration from the region of New South Wales and those that inhabit it. We draw on the cultural legacy and spirit of the country with recognised leaders in our field. We do this in order to spark national conversations on inclusion and respect.
Cultural Compact

The meaning of Moorambilla
Moorambilla in Gamilaroi roughly translates to place of fresh water. Moorambilla is the name of family property currently owned by our founders father Mick Leonard who will celebrate his 100th birthday in 2022. It is located just on the outskirts of Coonamble, just off the Dubbo road on the Gulargambone side. Coonamble is a rural community in western NSW occupying either side of the Castlereagh river sitting on both Wailwan and Gamilaroi country. It was here that the sheep runs – Coonamble and Koonambil formed the start of this community beside the fastest flowing “underground river system” in the southern hemisphere. Only when this river is in flood does it become a conventional river revealing its mighty power. For all who have experienced it Moorambilla is a natural oasis of birdlife and gum trees with waterflow into the swamp from the Bibleroi and Warrena creeks. It has always been a place of natural beauty and renewal.
