Celebrating our Legacy Members…
🎶 Altos – the warm heart of our harmony!
With their rich tone, depth and beautiful blend, our altos bring warmth, colour and balance to the sound of Bel Canto Singers. We’re delighted to introduce two wonderful members of our alto section, whose musical experience and passion add so much to our choir community. ✨
🎵 Meet Trish Guthrie-Watt
Trish’s lifelong love of music began in her hometown of Bega, leading to studies in piano performance and pedagogy, and a career spanning more than 40 years as a piano teacher and accompanist. Alongside her work at the piano, Trish has enjoyed choral singing and performing with a ca****la groups, including singing in Aida with Opera Australia’s Opera on the Beach. Since moving to North Brisbane in 2024, she has loved finding friendship and connection through Bel Canto Singers.
🎵 Meet Dagmar Scherer
Originally from Germany, Dagmar studied piano, organ, flute and voice at a specialist music school, where she regularly performed with the choir at the famous Nuremberg Christkindlesmarkt. Since moving to Australia, she has remained actively involved in choral singing. Alongside running two businesses and managing a national dog rescue, Dagmar values choir as a chance to connect, unwind and bring joy to others through music.
We’re so pleased to have both Trish and Dagmar as part of Bel Canto Singers, helping create the warm, rich and vibrant sound of our choir. 💛
