GROWING up on Sydney’s north shore, Rachel Hore didn’t know much about First Nations people.
Forty years later she leads a choir bringing indigenous and non-indigenous singers together to sing, heal and honour the oldest living culture on earth.
Hore, 59, is the music director and founder of Big Sing, a not-for-profit organisation that facilitates singing and choral events for Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Australians.
“When I grew up, I didn’t meet an Aboriginal person until I was 26 years-old and that’s probably quite normal in Australia,” Hore said.
Hore, a Canberra resident, has dedicated a large part of her career to promoting greater appreciation and awareness of indigenous music and culture.
