Wanted: Tenors & basses! |
|
|
Recruitment has gone well in 2010, with a number of new singers joining the Ku-ring-gai Male Choir. We would like even more. We are always on the lookout, especially, for first tenors and second basses, that is the highest and lowest voices. Naturally, most singers fall in the mid-ranges of second tenor and first bass (baritone) and they are also most welcome to join our ranks. But if you have a very high or very low voice, we can offer some challenging parts to learn, especially for the massed choirs festival at Sydney Town Hall on November 10. One of Ku-ring-gai Male Choir’s new members is a first bass, Ross Lindsey. An American, who now has Australian residency, Ross hails from the state of Oregon. He is a well-qualified musician, having been minister of music at his local Baptist church before moving to Australia. He says that the Ku-ring-gai Male Choir is the opportunity he has been seeking in Australia. We in turn are enjoying his singing and look forward to his choir concert debut in the near future. New singers: please contact Philip or John on the numbers below. For more information please email us or contact:
Proudly Supported by Ku-ring-gai and Hornsby Councils Over the last few years the choir has received financial support from Ku-ring-gai Council to assist the choir with certain expenses, such as the purchase of jackets and a piano stool, and costs associated with the use of copyrighted music. More recently Hornsby Council has also provided similar financial assistance. We are very grateful for their contributions. |
