Christmas in Narrandera and Leeton this year will be alive with the
sound of music. Residents are invited to join the inaugural Riverina
Men's Choir, which will rehearse from October for concerts planned for
the 2014 festive season.
“We are hoping to have a few singing workshops and then put on a
couple of Xmas concerts for the Retirement Villages in the Leeton and
hopefully Narrandera areas.” said Alan Chesworth, one of the organisers.
Mrs
Frances Tsoukalidas, an experienced choir conductor will lead four very
informal, free, singing workshops/practices Each of the 1.5 hour
sessions will be held in the Leeton Hydro Hotel starting in mid-October
this year. Hot food supper platters will be available each practise
night.
It is hoped that once the choir learns a few Christmas Carols and
other songs, they will then be able to perform for the elderly residents
of retirement homes in Leeton and Narrandera in November.
The
project is being supported by Regional Arts NSW, Western Riverina Arts
Inc and Leeton Shire Council. Further details regarding dates and times
will be provided through local media, including The Irrigator and
Narrandera Argus.
“At this stage we are just trying to get the word out about the
workshops and see who is interested. So far we have around a dozen men
interested in joining, but we would love to hear from more over the
coming months,” said conductor Frances Tsoukalidas.
The choir is looking for any men interested in singing, to join the choir. No need for auditions and all ages very welcome!
Men of all ages and abilities are encouraged to join in for this good cause.
