What a wonderful first concert for 2023 was had at both St Andrew’s, Brighton and St Paul’s, Bendigo. With the coming together of two very compatible choirs whom blend so well vocally, conducted by Elena Varshavskaya supported beautifully by the soloists and organist, we put on a great concert … again! Thank you to all who attended and supported both choirs.

Monday 19 June starts our next rehearsal season, leading up to our Spring Concert on Saturday 28 October 2023 at the Glen Eira City Town Hall Auditorium .  The music for this concert will feature excerpts from Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess and songs from around the world. The new rehearsal schedule has been distributed to choristers and is also available on the Choir Information page.

All are welcome to our annual fundraising Silent Movie Comedy Night to be held at 7 pm on Saturday 15 July 2023. This year the feature is Buster Keaton in The General. Ranked among the greatest American films ever made, The General was inspired by the Great Locomotive Chase, a true story of an event that occurred during the American Civil War. The silent movie will be accompanied by renowned theatre organist David Johnston OAM on the Fincham pipe organ of Holy Trinity Balaclava and Elwood Anglican Church, 175 Chapel Street, St Kilda. Tickets are only $20 and are available now from www.trybooking.com/CINVH
