The recent Choral Workshops were a great success with up to 40 locals taking part. Their debut was at our End of Year Party and was very much appreciated. These workshops were made possible by a grant from Club Five Dock under the Community Development Support Expenditure Program. Michelle Leonard was the Workshop Director and Lindsey Gilroy was the Accompanist.

Come and listen to some wonderful music. Two workshops will be held on the last Friday of the month between 1pm and 3pm. Transport is available to workshops, but please book this in advance. These workshops are free to members, or $5.50 for non-members.
