The voices of 100 local singers will unite when the Sutherland Shire Children’s Choir joins with the Endeavour Harmony Chorus for an end of year concert on November 24.
It is the first time both choirs have held a combined concert since 2014.
The choirs will be accompanied by a professional band and will perform a program of light and festive music.
The program will include children’s choir performing traditional Christmas songs, a comical version of the Twelve Days of Christmas and a Muppets Medley, along with a special performance by the Endeavour Harmony Chorus.
“Both choirs are excited to be working together and will perform a massed finale,” Sutherland Shire Children’s Choir director Natalie Woodcock said.
“I hope the local community will come along and enjoy our concert. The inspiring energy and singing of children is the embodiment of the joyful spirit of Christmas.
“I love directing the Sutherland Shire Children’s Choir. A child who sings is a happy child. Their sound is pure and resonant, coming from their very heart. There is no sense of judgment or inhibitions. Music connects these children and I feel part of a wonderful community.”
The Endeavour Harmony Chorus have won the Regional Barbershop Championships and have represented Australia on the international stage at Sweet Adelines International, the world's largest singing organisation for women.
Both choirs are looking for new members.
