Bless her heart, Pam reminded me to share that all Choirbolical members (and prospective members too) are invited to get together at Park House at 6:00pm for some fun social time before rehearsal.
May see you there!
Cheers,
Rebecca
A gentle reminder of our next rehearsal: Tuesday 2 May, 6:45 for a prompt 7:00 start.
Demolay House 90 Margaret Street, opposite Queen’s Park.
I hope we can impress Astrid with how much we gained from her posting our parts on the website to practice at home.
See you on Tuesday!
Cheers,
Rebecca
Astrid has done a recording of the English portion of this song with a tad bit of linguistic license, bless her heart! Please feel free to write the new words on this larger copy so we can all sing the same words.
You should be able to open and print from the title printed below ?
Happy Easter to all, hope you have had a lovely break!

Hi all,
Some information and a link to the flyer for a concert in Toowoomba this Sunday, April 9th, that might be of interest to you. I’m honoured to have one of my own pieces included in the program!
Astrid

Well-known singer and performer, Elaine Coates, with Fay Miller on piano will be presenting “A Singing of Stories -Songs by Australian Women Composers” at St Stephens Church at 3pm. As well as showcasing works by Australian women, the concert will raise funds for Elaine’s humanitarian aid trip to Uganda to work with children in slum schools and with the African Children’s Choir.
The featured composers are Astrid Jorgensen, musical director of Toowoomba group, Choirbolical; Shannon Gralow, currently starring in “Wicked” at the Empire Theatre and Sharney Russell, jazz icon.
Guest artist will be Sharon Matheson on harp.

(Tickets for the Dalby (30th April) and Bundaberg (25th August) concerts will be available soon.)
