BIG SING 2015

Choirbolical is looking forward to attending and performing at the BIG SING this Sunday.

The Queensland Kodály Choir and James Cuskelly invite you and your choir to The Big Sing! 2015. This event will again be held at St Aidan’s AGS, Brisbane on Sunday 1st November.

Registration 8.30am / Workshop 9.00 / Morning Tea 10.30/ Workshop 11.00/ Lunch 12.30 / Concert preparation 1.30/ Concert 3.00pm

We are excited to have James Cuskelly as the first presenter and welcome Sandra Milliken as the guest presenter for the second session of the day.

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.
