[Updated September 18, 2021]

2021:

OCTOBER:
Our second Concert for 2021 was to be “GREAT MOVIE THEMES”, but the usual fly in the ointment (C-19) has put that on hold.
This performance (probably being staged in May 2022) will feature the music of  such movie greats as Enrico Morricone and John Williams, who are renowned for  composing the music for  “The Mission”, “The Good,  The Bad,  and The Ugly”, and “Star Wars”.
For those who have a love of orchestral choral music, there will also be some surprising classical inclusions from various famous movies.
Our first concert for 2021 was held on May 23, 2021.
The title was “Something Good”, and featured popular music from the 1950’s and 60’s. 
Go to page Events for a pictorial report on the concert.

2020

We held our Virtual Christmas Concert on December 6th, 2020.


(See “Pictorial Report on 2020” in our Events page section).

[Updated November 15th, 2020].

The Choral Society is currently rehearsing for a virtual Christmas concert to be conducted on December 6th.

The intention is to have a video recording made, and that will be offered to the usual community groups in our area.
We are aware that today (November 15) there has been an outbreak of Covid 19 today in the northern suburbs, and are keeping an eye on that.
Note that since resumption of Rehearsals, we have been operating according to current Covid-19 safety requirements.

Our next concert, originally planned for late May, is on hold until the situation has eased sufficiently. It will be held in May 2021, depending on the situation at the time.
The title is “Something Good”, and will feature popular music from the 1960’s. 

The choral Society has been in recess due to the nation-wide response to Covid 19. 

For more information, please refer to our Home Page.
