New recordings have been added for United in Purpose (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTg1lubeXgs&t=10s) and The Times They Are a Changin’ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_50vCBqXvA) – please download and start practising along!
All singers are reminded to come along for some musical fun this coming Tuesday night – 6:45pm for 7:00pm start. This is a perfect time for new members to join as we are learning new repertoire to perform later in the year. It is also a perfect time for previous Choirbolical members who haven’t been able to sing with us for a while to come along for some healing singing therapy with friends old and new! Please see the Repertoire tab for details of the new songs we are learning – if you like Bob Dylan, a bit of rhythmical jazz, or a rollicky Aussie folk song, this is the choir for you. See you there!
Hello Choirbolicalians!
After a hugely successful past month with the National University of Singapore Society Choir Concert and a brilliant day at the Chilly Sing in Tenterfield, we are looking forward to seeing as many singers as possible at our next rehearsal so we can learn new repertoire together for future performances! Please click on the repertoire page to download and print the songs we will be singing. Our new songs include some gorgeously arranged folk music (The Times They Are a Changin’), gospel style socially conscious music (United in Purpose), community choir music we will learn by rote (Breathing In Breathing Out) and rollicky, playful and fun Aussie music (Cabbage Tree Hat). See you all on Tuesday!
4/6 – just a reminder that there is no rehearsal this Tuesday. Natalie needs a well deserved break! I think all who were fortunate enough to get to Tenterfield would agree that it was a wonderful day of music and friendship. Natalie’s musical talents as an accompanist, singer and director were put to good use and us Choirbolicals enjoyed our performance.
Next rehearsal – 18/6. 🙂
Next Sunday is the Tenterfield Chilly Sing workshop and performance – hope everyone going stays healthy this coming week!
Please note: the following Tuesday’s regular rehearsal – July 4th will be cancelled.
Next rehearsal for your diary will be July 18th 🙂
