A Capellago meet on Tuesday nights during the school term from 7.30pm – 9.30pm at the Phillipstown Hub. We are a small, mixed voice choir and are open to new members. It is an auditioned choir. Members need to memorize all their music. We learn at quite a fast pace, so singers need to be fairly experienced and sing accurately. We sing in a wide variety of languages and also sing contemporary songs in English. Ease with syncopation is a must.
We are a very warm, friendly, social group who aim high but don’t take ourselves too seriously.
Open Song is a non auditioned choir that meets for the last seven weeks of every school term on Wednesday nights, from 7.30pm – 9.30pm. We sing music from around the world and contemporary songs in English. We welcome people of all ages and abilities. We aim high, in a fun, supportive environment.
