Toowoomba Combined Choirs Event

Choirbolical members may be interested in this event being held in Toowoomba on August 11th.

Registration is available with the link below:

Two works have been chosen for the 2018 Toowoomba Combined choirs event. The first is Ralph Vaughan-Wiliams’ Dona Nobis Pacem. The second work is something very close to home, a cantata called It is Well with My Soul

The basic format is that choirs (or individuals) practice on their own (rehearsal tracks will also be provided) then the combined group comes together for 2 rehearsals (Saturday 4th August and Thursday night 9th) and then the performance on the 11th August. The rehearsals and performance are to be held at St Luke’s Church (Cnr Herries and Ruthven Sts).

There is a cost of $20 per participant to cover the cost of the scores. Ideally, we would need registrations complete by 31st March. There are two options to register. You can direct your choristers to the link below and then can fill out the online form, or if you wish to coordinate on their behalf I have attached a form you can submit for group registration.

Choir Rehearsal Tonight

All welcome to come and enjoy singing at choir rehearsal tonight – Tuesday 6th March. 6.45pm for a 7pm start. Remember you are welcome to make recordings on your phone to practice with at home.

Spring Sing committee to meet following rehearsal tonight.

Our first performance for the year will be Friday evening May 11th at the Toowoomba Jazz Club – put it in your diary.

Rehearsal tomorrow 20th Feb

Just a reminder there is a rehearsal tomorrow, 20th Feb.

We have a venue for a Spring Sing here in Toowoomba at the USQ theatre.  Anyone interested in stepping forward to form a committee to run through Pam Wilson’s list of things to do – which has been tested and proven!!  There will be time after the rehearsal to find out what is involved.  Many hands make light work – and a lovely way to get to know people better.

Looking forward to seeing you all there.

Warm regards, Lesley

Wishing you all a wonderful festive time with friends and family.
