Hi everyone.

Looking forward to sing with you all on Saturday. I will have a few spare copies of the music on the day, but please have the following pieces ready for our workshop:

Walk Forth Where All is Bright

Viva La Musica Full

Sweet and Low

I Have a Million Nightingales

Tapestry of Life

Stabat Mater

Like A Stream

By the Babylonian Rivers – V1

I will aim to have our workshop finish at 12:45pm so that we can have a short break, then a quick review of all the pieces learnt on the day. This will probably mean that we will finish a bit before 1:30pm.

All the best,

Carla

Brook Street Pier

We sang in the streets, we sang at ArtMob gallery, we sang in a dungeon (Battery Point) for a ghost tour, we sang on a bus, we even sang-in the local seal with ‘Come sweet death’ at the Harbour (pictured)!

Choirbolical had a wonderful time singing and being entertained by choirs large and small and a great guide Margaret during our pop-up performances. Thank you Festival of Voices HOBART. We hope to see you again.

Pop-Up Toowoomba Performances and Artworks

An exciting morning of ‘pop-up’ performances will be held on 6th June in the Toowoomba CBD. Meet at the Empire Theatre Neil Street at 10am to warm up the vocal chords and trail around the CBD viewing some of the remarkable ‘First-coat’ artworks while we sing in the streets.

Don’t forget to let friends and family know so they can walk with us or find us along the way. Proposed route is:

1. Viewing artworks on the way to our first sing at the Village Green adjacent to the Regional Art Gallery 10.15am

2. Artworks and singing  near Ground-up in Searles Lane around 10.45

3. Weave around the lanes to Bon Amici in Margaret Street – singing on a small stage from 11.30am.  Stay on for some lunch and further walking to view other new artworks if you wish.

The Pop-Ups are designed to give our local community a taste of the Pop-up performances we will be doing in Hobart’s Festival of Voices
