“When people join together and pull together a performance you just
can't buy this. It's something which is magical and so incredibly
valuable. It lives in the memory, part of the fabric of life. In
communities in the past, I think artistic ways of expression were
more accessible than in our time. Modern day city lives can lose
this. When we can participate and we feel the benefits of it, it's
something we want to hang on to and want to keep doing. I suppose
community music is replacing the aspects of community that existed
in the past.”
Meryn quoted by
Anne Power and Robert Waters

The CBCC is a
non-auditioning choir, with members from all walks of life. Join us
on Thursday evenings during the school term at the Drummoyne Community
Centre between 7pm and 9pm. You don’t have to read music,
although it’s obviously an advantage.
Have fun and learn
The Canada Bay Community Choir is an enthusiastic group of
community members who love to sing and make music.
We are based in the inner-western suburbs of Sydney, NSW. We welcome
singers across a range of
musical knowledge and singing ability. If you enjoy singing, team
spirit and learning, this could be the choir for you!
When
The choir operates on a term basis, based on school terms. While
most regular members participate in all four terms per year, this is
not compulsory. We recognise that people have other commitments and
may need to miss a term here and there.
Where
We have choir practice every Thursday
during school term from 7pm to 9pm
at the Drummoyne Community Centre. Click here to
download the Choir
Practice Schedule. It is best if new members join the
choir at the first or second rehearsal of a new school term.
Choir practices begin at
7.00pm promptly, with a warm up from approximately 7.00-7.10pm.
Potential new members should introduce themselves to our Membership
Secretary. The Musical Director will suggest which section
(Soprano, Alto, Tenor or Bass) of the choir is appropriate for their
voice.
Costs
The fee assists
with the payment of the Musical Director and
other key personnel who assist in the choir’s management. It also
pays for some of the music and administration costs associated with
the choir’s existence such as insurance, musical development,
publicity and events organisation.
Annual Membership: $5
Term Fee Paid in Advance:
$120 ($90 Concession) OR Session Fee: $15 ($12 Concession)
Administration
A Provisional Committee has been established to get the choir
started. At the AGM on 22 July 2010 a new committee of approximately 6 people
will be elected by the choir members. All financial
members of the choir are eligible to nominate and vote. The
committee meets regularly to discuss
aspects of the choir’s management and direction. The meetings are
informal and all choir members are welcome to attend.

current plans for the near future.
