All indications are that we are continuing a pattern of sustained high standard singing. However, our choir is slightly unbalanced and we are in great need of more baritones and basses.
We rehearse at Holy Cross Primary School, New Gisborne on Tuesdays at 7.30 pm. If interested in joining us, just telephone Grainne Black (President) on 0423 769 643 or D’Arcy Wood (VP) on 5428 3040. Alternatively, just come along before rehearsal for a warm welcome. We are now working towards our lighter style cabaret concert on Sat 19th July 2014
Hear what one of our singers said recently on why he enjoyed being a member of the Gisborne Singers. From Robert Blair (Past President). I’ve tried a number of choirs in the area and I like our choir the best. Why? I like the variety of music performed. I like the challenge of learning a large amount of, at times, difficult work even though I am not a sight reader. I like the number of performances we do: two formal ‘big item’ concerts with orchestra or ensemble and professional soloists with a lighter mid-year concert (cabaret style) and a chance for individual expression through solo or small group items. I like performing for old folks; performing at community events such as choir festivals, Australia Day and others. The choir gives a good feeling of involvement in a worthwhile way. It gives a chance to work with like-minded people and make friends. I love Stephen! (Stephen Brockman – Musical Director)
