Choral singing has always been a big part of Marnie’s life, which started at a young age in the local church choir and Sydney Children’s Choir and into adulthood including being a member of the London Symphony Chorus and Sydney Philharmonia Choirs. Marnie currently rehearses and performs with one of Sydney’s community choirs, “Coro Innominata”.
When not teaching, singing or conducting, Marnie enjoys listening to beautiful music and being in the outdoors, especially at the beach with her husband and two kids.
