New Choir Year Begins

Last night (Wed) members of Vocal Dimension had a very enjoyable first rehearsal for 2017, almost all members were able to attend, as well as one returning singer and a new alto.

All were welcomed by Musical Director, Malcolm Halford, who quickly set us to work on a beautiful selection of sacred music items. Some of these were familiar to many of the singers and others were completely new providing an interesting challenge.

It’s not too late to join in, so if you are interested come along at 7.30 pm next Wednesday to the CWA Hall, 17 Templeton Street Wangaratta. New singers are most welcome.

2017 Choral Season

Did your New Year resolutions include joining a choir? Why not give us a try? We enjoy singing great music and we have a lot of fun. Choir practice starts on Wednesday 1 February at the CWA Hall in Templeton Street, Wangaratta.
