Celebrating the end of the year by singing on ABC radio!

This Sunday 3 December, The Folk Choir will be singing on Rebecca Levingston's show on 612 ABC. Expect to hear us between 11.30 - 12 noon, singing some of our best songs and having a chat with Rebecca about why we're so into harmonies and folk music. Tune in live on a real radio if you're in Brisbane or listen on the web later.

It has been a mega term for the choir, with our hugely successful concert in collaboration with The Brisbane Celtic Fiddle Club two weeks ago, and the chorus singing element of our rehearsals getting richer and more joyful every week. No music required, just a good pair of listening ears and the will to slot your voice in there somewhere.

There is some video of us performing at the concert, on our facebook page, so please visit The Folk Choir's Facebook Page! Scroll down and you'll find video clips.

This year choir finishes on December 7, and we will begin rehearsals again in February, if you would like to join us and sing.

We do have a gig scare over the summer break - we are opening the fundraising concert at the Red Hill Community Sports Club, 22 Fulcher Road, on February 18. It will be a great afternoon of folk acts, raising money to contribute to the repair and maintenance of the airconditioning at the hall, which makes it a great venue for choirs, folk clubs and dance groups.

Tonight is the last day of term 3.

Come along for a relaxing sing with The Folk Choir tonight. Doors open just before 7, you can have a cup of tea before we start, and we sing from 7.15pm - 8.45pm.

This is the last choir practice of this term.

Summer term starts on 5 October and runs for ten weeks, to 7 December. In that time we will sing at the Peersing, perform at our Flying Fiddles and Soaring Voices concert on 12 November (poster out soon), and sing on ABC radio on 3 December. Action packed. But relaxing too!

Sing with you soon,
Nicole

Exciting Autumn Term!

It's time to sing again, hooray! At last, it is CHOIR WEEK again! We start the new term this Thursday 27 April. This will be an exciting and varied term indeed. Nicole will be leading the choir for the first three weeks, and when she goes overseas on tour with Cloudstreet, our wonderful guest director, Rebecca Wright, will take over until her return in early August. You’ll have such a good time learning some great new songs from Bec, it will be an utterly refreshing Autumn term. This term will run for 10 weeks, from 28 April - 29 June. Do bring along friends who have been wanting to join a choir, it is a great antidote to wintery weather to be in a singing community.
