Genevieve Pizzey

Indigo Singers sang at a small and intimate memorial lunch for Genevieve Pizzey. Genevieve lost her battle with cancer after a long and brave fight and passed away on 22 September this year.

Indigo Singers in their deep blue scarves provide a musical tribute.

An extremely creative and musically talented woman, Genevieve had been a singer and choir director at times in her life, as well as painter, published poet, novelist and some time writer for the Age. She is survived by a host of loving family and friends.

Genevieve had a fine musical talent; she played piano and sang and attended The Conservatory of Music in Melbourne. She learned the Celtic harp quite recently. She loved choirs which were a large part of her life and she sang in and directed choirs around the world wherever she lived. Anywhere she went, she found a choir to join, or formed one. She joined ‘Indigo Singers’ in 2007.

Genevieve’s pastimes involved music, nature, writing, painting, photography and gardening. She wrote the novel, “Figures in a Seascape” and the “Tuross Carol” which was sung for the first time by ‘Indigo Singers’ at Genevieve’s Celebration of Life in October.

This new carol will be performed by Indigo and other choirs at a number of Christmas gatherings both this year and in the future. It is a lovely carol and a very fitting reminder of Genevieve every time we sing it.

Yours as ever,
Ros with thanks to Pam for notes.
