BiographY

Julie Edwards, Musical Director

Julie has been the Musical Director of Blue Sky Harmony since the chorus formed in 2019. She has always loved to sing and play music. She played multiple instruments as a child and has sung in a wide variety of auditioned and non-auditioned school, university and adult ensembles performing both contemporary and classical music. 
 
In 2013, looking for a new challenge, Julie joined a 6-week "learn to sing barbershop" program and discovered Sweet Adelines International. Here she found a vibrant community who loved to learn and continuously improve their singing and performance skills. Within months, Julie was invited to become Tenor Section Leader and she later served in other management and music team roles including Membership Coordinator, Team Coordinator and Assistant Director, as well as gaining experience singing with three quartets. 

Julie’s leadership skills and contribution to her chorus were recognised when she was twice named their “Sweet Adeline of the Year”. She also served as Interim Musical Director, prior to taking on the challenge of starting Blue Sky Harmony with a group of experienced and passionate singers. 

In addition to leading Blue Sky Harmony, Julie is a registered teacher and qualified trainer. For Julie, singing is a joy and she loves to share this joy with audiences, workshop participants and chorus members.
