A very happy Christmas and New Year to all. We’ve had a great year of singing with Natalie, but for those who may not have caught up with news we sadly said our farewells at the final concert for the year. Natalie in true Choirbolical tradition, brought a sense of fun and community to our music making. Please go to repertoire if you have a login to enjoy watching our final concert and thank you to Rob for putting together the You Tube.

In other news – we will be welcoming Caroline Ryan as our musical director in 2024 and look forward to her joining us with her multi-talented musical skills. Deborah will also continue as our accompanist next year which we are very fortunate to have. We are set to have lots of fun in 2024!
