A VOCAL group wants to again bring community together through song
Members of the former Goldfields choir have put the call out to local music fans to join the new Inglewood community choir.
Duncan Campbell says the choir revival is supported by the Inglewood Community Neighbourhood House.
“The people who currently make up the group were previously members of the Goldfields Choir, which enjoyed a great deal of success under the leadership of Mrs Tania Franks, and that choir existed for some 20 years, but stopped performing during the Covid restrictions, and is no longer viable,” Duncan said.
“The new choir will inherit much of the sheet music, which was used by the previous choir, but will sing whatever the new membership wishes. Any member will be able to put forward a wish list of songs to be sung by the choir, including Christmas
“Carols, pop songs, country music, soul - whatever is put forward.
“No singing experience is required. Most of the current members hadn’t sung since school, which in many cases is long ago.”
Duncan said many members had missed the interaction and singing in a group and have decided to restart the choir in Inglewood, particularly for those living in the Loddon Shire but membership is open to all regardless.
The choir is rehearsing twice a month and members are also looking for a musical leader and tutor of the choir coming together for pleasure.
