Emily Tenorio, a member of the Hunter Singers choir, will raise her voice and sound her bugle in honour of those who fought and died in the fields and on the beaches of Europe 100 years ago.
The group will perform at two significant events – the Llangollen Eisteddfod in Wales as part of the World Choir Eisteddfod. Then, on the eve of the Battle of Fromelle centenary, the group will perform Fromelle by Australian composer Paul Jarmen at the site where German forces slaughtered more than 7,000 British and Australian men.
Touring Australian graves, Emily will then play the Last Post and Reveille in memory of the fallen.
