20.01.2022 Some good news as we head into the weekend from Desert Song Festival - Thursday 11 'Desert Song Digital' is launching! Read the post for all the details. #keepthemusicgoing #desertsong #chimechoir #choirsofmelbourne #musicinmelbourne

15.01.2022 During the past three months, we at Chime have really missed all the things that bring us joy - seeing each other at rehearsals, singing together, and performing for our loyal, amazing, audiences, like at Stones of the Yarra (pictured) in 2014. While we wait for the day we can all be together again, we've been working hard behind the scenes with at-home rehearsals to #keepthemusicgoing so we can be ready to resume singing together as soon as it's safe to do so. We ...cannot wait!! What are you looking forward to about life after COVID-19? #lifeinthetimeofcorona #choirsofmelbourne #chimechoir2020 #choirlife #staysafe #musicinmelbourne

15.01.2022 Chime Choir's carol to celebrate Christmas 2020 is Jubilate Deo. It's been a difficult year for so many of us, and what better way to put it behind us than to hear the message of this carol; "Rejoice". "Rejoice", says the music, in this season of goodwill and joy. Greetings and best wishes go to our members, families, and friends on the wings of this celebratory song, specially recorded to share the thrill of hope with all. Happy Christmas everyone!... #chimechoir #choirsofmelbourne #christmas2020 #musicinmelbourne #virtualchoir2020 https://youtu.be/3X3YXcFCO-Q

06.01.2022 #throwback to this time last year performing at the Desert Song Festival! Looking at the pictures of this is even more incredible now that we have spent so much time physically away from each other (hopefully we can resume in person rehearsals soon ). . It was a beautiful experience to sing with so many other talented choristers in a stunning location. Does anyone have any desert song memories to share? ... #choirlife #choirsofmelbourne #chimechoir #desertsong2019

02.01.2022 Here at Chime, we’ve put our rehearsing & upcoming April performance on hold while we wait out the storm that is COVID-19. We hope you are all safe and staying home too. In this unexpected downtime, we thought it would be a perfect time to revisit our history as a choir, so without further ado, here is ... !... 2010-2019 We’ve had a big couple of years coming into 2020. The end of this decade had Chime perform at the Desert Song Festival in Alice Springs, with a stunning A Capella presentation at Ormiston Gorge, along with the Soweto Gospel Choir. We also sang at the Earth Sanctuary with a number of other choirs as the sun went down; definitely an experience that will stay with us forever. In 2018 we were offered the opportunity to tour in New York. Our tour saw us performing at the world-renowned Carnegie Hall! Further performances were at the Church of St Malachy, just off Times Square, the Cathedral of St John the Divine, and St Bartholomew's where we performed several songs, then participated in their evening eucharist. We even managed to swing a couple of impromptu renditions of Waltzing Matilda at Times Square and Grand Central Station, after convincing the security staff to let us sing! It was a beautiful and memorable experience for the choir - one we’ll never forget! Until the next edition; stay home and stay safe! #choirsofmelbourne #chimechoir2020 #musicinmelbourne #keepsinging #choirlife

02.01.2022 It's time to introduce another of our performers! ? ... I've been with Chime since 2006 - 13 and a half years. I joined just after my first child was born, when I realised I was losing my tone and range, and needed something for myself. I had to take some off last year, but I keep coming back. ! Music is my life!!! Growing up I played piano, violin, recorder and bass guitar. I was in a children's opera company, the school big band, concert orchestra, concert choir, madrigals (leader), recorder consort and string orchestra. After school I performed in amateur musicals, which are my favourite things, and then I joined Chime. ’ ( ), ? Ooh. Such a tough question. I'm a Beethoven and Chopin fan, I love Tori Amos, Sarah McLachlan, The Eels and The Hilltop Hoods, I love Miles Davis and I love Andrew Lloyd Webber! Nothing if not eclectic ’ ? I know it's what everyone says, but it's got to be the people. We're so much more than the sum of our parts. As a group we're unbelievable, diverse and just so friendly. ‘ ’ - ’ ? Hmm. good question. Working from home, it's tough, but I'm enjoying exposing my kids to different types of music in the evenings while we do puzzles or Lego or colouring. .

02.01.2022 It's hard to believe that we're STILL in these strange COVID-19 times, and that our rehearsals and concerts are still on hold. It has been a real test of our strength to have to wait until it's safe to be singing together again. While we keep on waiting, we thought we'd share one Ola Gjeilo's pieces, "The Ground" with you, performed in 2017. We hope it lifts your spirits as it does ours. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqB2VRjFqr8... #choirsofmelbourne #chimechoir2020 #musicinmelbourne #keepthemusicgoing #choir
