The conference featured BrizBrain & Spine neurosurgeons and orthopaedic spinal surgeons,  along with other specialty presenters including radiation oncologist, medical oncologists, palliative care physicians,  and pain specialists.

Thank you Wendy, you did an amazing job!

Each year, Brisbane Sings donates the profits from their annual choir event to a not-for-profit organisation, this year they have selected the Newro Foundation. 

Brisbane Sings is a community event featuring choirs and singing groups from all over the city performing separately and together. A massed choir of 500 voices and a stage band will join to present a highly entertaining show that celebrates group singing in a non-competitive environment. The event is fun, uplifting and a great chance for various musical and community groups to share ideas and create lasting and memorable experiences for their members.
