24.01.2022 Tuesday night is usually when our choir is rehearsing and we miss it! Here's a look back at our first choir rehearsal of the year when our cast of Mamma Mia was getting ready for opening night in the Civic Theatre. We love our members and we can't wait to gather and sing with you all again. #loveourcommunity #choirfamily #inthistogether

23.01.2022 We're sad to hear of the passing of Norma Lamont yesterday. Norma was a great soprano and long time member of both the Eisteddfod Choir and ChoralAires. Norma could always be relied upon for her comedic timing in theatre restaurants. It didn't matter how bizarre the character she was given, she always rose to the occasion. We have particularly fond memories of Noma's performance with Daphne Pease as Norse Viking women in "soap opera".... Our thoughts and prayers are with Norma and her family.

22.01.2022 FRIDAY AND SATURDAY SHOWS SOLD OUT! All of our Friday and Saturday shows are now completely sold out. HURRY for Wednesday and Thursday night! #mammamiatsv #fABBAulous : http://bit.ly/2LTFdyn Supported by Townsville City Council... Photo Chrissy Maguire See more

Under the announced measures to help halt the spread of the coronavirus COVID-19, we cannot continue to gather safely to rehearse for Choir, ChoralAires or our upcoming musical, 'I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change' and these activities are cancelled until further notice. We'd like to take this opportunity to thank the production t...eam of 'I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change' who had already put in hours of preparation but who will not see their creative vision reach audiences. They are: Directors, Michelle Higgins, Judy Higgins-Olsen and Jodie Bell, Vocal Director, Sophie Ricca and Production Manager, Rebecca Larsen. We also thank our Choral Directors, Rachel Cairns and Claire Davies and Accompanist, Jeanine Tegg who have worked to prepare our Choir, Artistic Director Sandra Neal and our ChoralAires Director, Kym Wilson.

05.01.2022 There's no feeling quite like the pride of seeing a friend or family member try something new for the very first time. Early this year our Mamma Mia cast performed at the Civic Theatre, some of them having never sung on its stage before in their lives. Here are some behind-the-scenes moments of the very first sound check that make us incredibly proud. We look forward to when we can give more North Queenslanders opportunities and experiences like this. Mamma Mia was proudly supported by Townsville City Council Community Grants Program.
