Juliarna has a Master of Music (Performance Teaching) and a Bachelor of Music, and has been involved in high quality choral music, as a chorister and as a conductor, for her whole life.  As a youngster she performed in the top levels of the Australian Girls Choir, later working as a conductor for them for over a decade. She has been a conductor here for YVM in the past and presently steps in from time to time in support of the choir, alongside her employment as a senior speech pathologist in the Education Department and as a Speech Pathology Lecturer for La Trobe University.

 

Other manifestations of the love of music in her life  include singing in the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra Chorus and presenting the show, The Romantics, on 103.5 3MBS FM. In her spare time, she enjoys performing jazz and presenting classical concerts with her trio, The Classical Collective. Music has been a gift that has kept on giving;  she loves nurturing that potential in our young choristers.
