Their repertoire includes folk ballads, foot-stomping shanties, and even a Viking battle song. Because there's no occasion that can't be improved by a Viking battle song.
We're a mixed community choir of 40+ members ranging in age from teenage to over 70, and we've sung at a wide range of events up and down the Tweed and Gold Coast. We perform at a variety of events plus putting on our own concerts.
We sing in (mostly) four-part harmony, enjoying a wide variety of styles ranging from pop, rock and other contemporary music to classical, gospel, world music, folk and musical theatre. Many of our songs are accompanied by choreography that adds an element of difficulty for our performers but is always appreciated by our audiences.
We also previously performed overseas every three years, starting with a singing tour to China to coincide with Expo 2010 and followed by an international choir competition in Vietnam in 2013, where we received two silver awards. In July 2016 we travelled to Sochi, Russia, to compete in the World Choir Games along with 283 choirs and 12,000 participants from 76 nations. At this huge event, we added two more silver awards to our collection. We travelled to Japan in 2019 on a singing tour visiting Osaka, Kyoto, Sendai and Tokyo. We are hoping to visit the World Choir Games in Auckland in 2024.
