25.01.2022 To all choristers and audience members I hope you can take time to reflect at home on Anzac Day this year. I have posted on our web and facebook pages a video extract of Dave Scott playing the Last Post. This is taken from our Remembrance Day concert in 2018. Lest we forget.... Best wishes to you all. Michael Ryan Perth Symphonic Chorus.
24.01.2022 To all our wonderful audience members, subscribers and supporters of Perth Symphonic Chorus. It will come as no surprise to you that we have cancelled our Anzac Day concerts. In addition all choir rehearsals and performances will be suspended as we go into recess until at least the end of July. At that time we will be in a better position to plan for the rest of 2020. We hope at least to hold our Carols and Messiah concerts. We value your support whether you have been one of ...our longtime supporters or a newer member of our music fraternity. We will keep in touch via emails or other inventive ways in the coming months and look forward to our continuing friendship through music. Look after each other in these disjunctive times. Michael Ryan Chair of Board Perth Symphonic Chorus.
