Hazel Wilson has been granted life membership for her long-standing involvement in the life and activities of the Glen Eira City Choir.

Our turnout for rehearsals has increased with masks no longer mandatory. We are still spacing at 1.5 metres apart and some continue to prefer wearing a mask indoors. We are rehearsing Vivaldi’s Gloria, starting with Domine Deus and et in terra pax, in preparation for our concert at St Andrew’s Brighton on Sunday 5 June. We would love to hear from you soon if you are yet to return to sing in this concert, or are interested in joining the choir. Our rehearsal time continues to be 7.45pm – 9.15pm. $10 per night, plus $15 for music if it is your first time back. We retire up the road for coffee after.

In February we resumed rehearsals with our new musical director Elena Varshavskaya, and Berta Brozgul again as our accompanist. Enjoying the blues and Gospel music we were rehearsing with plans for three concerts this year. However, now with our enforced break because of COVID-19 we have revised this to two concerts, in October and December, all going well. Further updates will be posted with details of recommencement of rehearsals. Please contact us with any queries.
