Love to Read??? The next best thing to singing!! The books Gail and Stu brought along to the workshop were most welcome. A little book exchange box could be a new feature of our rehearsals. Bring a book along to swap before rehearsals.

Looking for more singing over the Summer? Tony Backhouse sent this invitation to join his Summer Song Music camp.
| SUMMERSONG MUSIC CAMP 2025 I haven’t missed a Summersong since it started in 2000, when the wonderful Kristina Olsen and I were the only tutors. It’s now grown to become a remarkable cultural/creative/social/fun event, delivering unpredictable delights within the most supportive community, and the best audience you’ve ever had. If you’re a total beginner or an experienced musician, this is for you, for everyone. An inspiring way to start the new year! Be there! https://www.summersongmusiccamp.com/register-2025.html https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1KEEAQQwah/ https://www.summersongmusiccamp.com/ https://www.summersongmusiccamp.com/classes.html |
You are invited to celebrate another wonderful year of Choirbolical singing this coming Tuesday 3rd December. Family and friends are all welcome.
5:45 pm Bring a plate of food to share – outside if the weather is kind to us. Tea and coffee available, but please bring own cold drinks.
7:00 pm Concert – if you are singing, there is a list of music in order – see previous post/email.
See you there with Christmas bells on!
This coming Tuesday 19th November is our final rehearsal for the year! The following rehearsal on 3rd Dec will be our End of Year get-together and Sing for Family and Friends.
While we do not have a concert to sing in next week end, we do have an invitation to attend the Australian Voices album launch and concert on Saturday 23rd November. John Rotar, composer and musical director has sent a note:
I wanted to share with you our discount code : FRIENDSOFTAV, which will get you a discount with any ticket purchased online (links below). Here is the facebook event : https://www.facebook.com/events/1240117500631484 Here is the direct ticket link : https://events.humanitix.com/the-australian-voices-album-launch-toowoomba
Hope to see lots of Choirbolical folk there 🙂
Unfortunately the concert planned for 24th November has been postponed until March 23rd next year. A number of people in the host choir Voicemale and another choir were not able to attend or ill, so they decided to do the Toowoomba Homeless Project justice by postponing.
OUR own Family and Friends concert will be on Tuesday December 3rd. This will celebrate our end of year. Bring a plate to share on the lawn outside from 5.30pm. Concert will begin at 7pm. ALL WELCOME.
