Update: February 2021
COVIDSafe Choir rehearsals recommence on Monday, February 8 at St Andrew’s Anglican Church Hall in Brighton. Rehearsals will be one hour long only, to allow time before and after rehearsal to follow COVIDSafe practice. We are very excited to once again be singing! Read more here
Update: November 2020
Over the last few months, we have held a series of catch-ups on Zoom and enjoyed some interesting speakers, along with a musical quiz. COVID-19 continues to make it difficult to predict when we can resume rehearsals but we look forward to starting with small groups in the first half of 2021. as guidelines allow. Stay tuned!
Update: 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 Concert master’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 update the website and keep current members informed by email. Stay well and safe!
Update: March 2020
We started back with our new musical director Elena Varshavskaya in February 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 down to two concerts, in October and December, all going well. We will update our website as we are able to make firm plans for recommencement. Please contact us with any queries.
