We have been extremely fortunate to have had Noortje as our rehearsal pianist since 2016.

Noortje has a Performance Arts degree from Wollongong University, where she studied with the irrepressible Gerard Willems. 

She worked with Rockdale Opera Company for 20 years with conductor Bransby Bryne and has played in hundreds of shows, including “Opera Afloat” with Megan Evans.  Noortje also played in a nation-wide tour of  “Oklahoma” and “South Pacific” with the Tony Price Ensemble.
