We're so happy and grateful that we are now back practising on a "masks optional" basis. Our numbers at rehearsal are at good levels and increasing weekly. And, as can be seen in the attached video, our passion and excitement for our music and friendship is high. We have a Harmony Education weekend later this month and we're starting to plan for our midyear concert on August 20th. Exciting times ahead! |
We are excited to be joining other Choruses from throughout the South Island to attend Harmony Education Aotearoa here in Christchurch - 27th to 29th May 2022. We will have world leading tutors who will expose us to all aspects of singing and performance. in addition special friendships are created and developed over this and other Barbershop events.! |
