Rehearsal in St Andrew’s Church
June 2020
COVID-19 still makes it difficult to predict when we can resume rehearsals. We continue to hold committee meetings. Our next is at the beginning of July. We hope choir members are enjoying our concertmaster’s hard work with choir parts sent out. We have not tried a Zoom meeting (yet?!).
ANCA, the Australian National Choir Association, has relevant information on their website about choirs and there are two webinars on the Gondwana Choir website: COVID-19 and the future of choral singing and Back to choir: positive & practical steps. Both are worth reading and listening to.
In the meantime, we will post updates and keep current members informed by email. Stay well and safe!
