Caloundra Chorale’s Easter Concert

The Caloundra Chorale is a community choir and because of COVID, the members have sorely missed the sense of community fostered by singing together and singing for their loyal patrons which they have done for 50 years. Conductor Kim Kirkman and the choir are so excited to present their Easter Concert which will showcase pieces to be performed at the Queensland Eisteddfod in Maryborough. Due to COVID restrictions, their little theatre at Wurtulla is too small for the performance but the choir is fortunate to be able to use Venue 114 for one performance only.

When: Sunday March 27, 2pm

Where: Venue114, 114 Sportsman Parade, Bokarina

Tickets: $20, booking essential via calling 0490 329 912
