20/8 final rehearsal before our concert on Saturday 24th See previous posts for all the information.
For music lovers, below there is another invitation for a concert the following weekend.

Dear Choirbolical
I’m writing from Canticum Chamber Choir to let you know about our upcoming concert in Toowoomba, called “Imagine”. This is a beautiful selection of a cappella works from the 20th and 21st centuries, sacred and secular, on themes of hope, renewal and reflection.
The concert is at 3pm on Saturday 31 August at St Luke’s Anglican Church. We’d be grateful if you could please distribute the information to your choir members. If you have an email address you could please send me, I can send you the eflier for the concert. 
Tickets are available through Trybooking at this link: https://www.trybooking.com/CSRFT and we’ll also sell tickets at the door.
We hope to see you there!

Please see the updated Song List of music in order as it will be presented at our upcoming Charity Coffee & Cake Concert under the repertoire tab. Time to put the folders in order and do a bit of a home practice so we can ditch the folder or at least look up as we entertain our audience!! Final rehearsal next Tuesday 20/8.

See Concert details below and share with friends, family and your communities.
