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.

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!
