Brisbane City Sounds is holding Open Rehearsals of their chorus in the months of July & August for any women singers who might like to go along, listen, and perhaps join in. They are an auditioned chorus and have been singing in four part, a cappella, or unaccompanied, harmony since 2002. Though Brisbane City Sounds is primarily a barbershop chorus and belongs to Sweet Adelines Australia and Sweet Adelines International, they also sing a range of modern songs, all in four part, unaccompanied harmony.
In addition to competing in an Australia-wide Sweet Adelines annual competition, they perform in concerts, movie afternoon & fashion show fund raisers, contracted performances, such as at Christmas time and for charity.
The practice nights, on Thursday evenings, start at 7pm at the Lavalla Centre, 58 Fernberg Rd. Paddington. They invite you to come along! Stay till 9.30pm or leave when you need to. Your visit requires no charge and no commitment!! Check out the website and Facebook page www.brisbanecitysounds. com.au
