The Big Sing! is an opportunity for community choirs and interested members of the public to come together for a fun and challenging day of singing. No prior knowledge of music literacy is required – just a love of singing. Morning Tea and Lunch are included in the registration fee ($10 for unwaged/concession, $20 for adults) and a concert to showcase the music from the day will commence at 3pm.

Please RSVP via email to [email protected]. Any individual participants are welcome to RSVP before the event, or just turn up the day.

An exciting morning of ‘pop-up’ performances will be held on 6th June in the Toowoomba CBD. Meet at the Empire Theatre Neil Street at 10am to warm up the vocal chords and trail around the CBD viewing some of the remarkable ‘First-coat’ artworks while we sing in the streets.

Don’t forget to let friends and family know so they can walk with us or find us along the way. Proposed route is:

1. Viewing artworks on the way to our first sing at the Village Green adjacent to the Regional Art Gallery 10.15am

2. Artworks and singing  near Ground-up in Searles Lane around 10.45

3. Weave around the lanes to Bon Amici in Margaret Street – singing on a small stage from 11.30am.  Stay on for some lunch and further walking to view other new artworks if you wish.

The Pop-Ups are designed to give our local community a taste of the Pop-up performances we will be doing in Hobart’s Festival of Voices

Please find Rehearsal dates for Term 2 listed on the site. The ANZAC day performance at the RSL Westhaven Retirement Village was interesting, but a fantastic medley enjoyed by those who stopped to listen. Thanks Margaret for putting it together and your wonderful conducting. Also thanks to Lorraine who accompanied us once again.
