Our Community Singers in Fine Voice

Article from Jordan's Crossing Gazette

December 2009

Serendipity:the choir, after a period of intermittent rehearsal due to other commitments by the Music Director and Repetiteur, is again in full musical stride. Members of the choir braved the chilly conditions to sing for the launch of 'Bundy on Tap'. Our decision to wear ‘watery' colours left us very vulnerable to the elements, and several singers gradually turned the colour of icy water! The words of the ‘Bundy Fantastic' song were written by one of our tenors, Ken Ferrier, and were particularly appropriate for the occasion.

Another ‘slice' of Serendipity performed at the Warrigal Care annual celebration which this year, in a break from tradition, was held here in Bundanoon, on 30 October, to highlight the transformation of Linkside into the flagship of the Warrigal Care villages.

Our own end of year concerts are rapidly approaching. The programme celebrates the International Year of Astronomy, with the title 'Heavenly Bodies'; but we are also making more than a passing reference to our own ‘heavenly bodies'. Puzzled? Come and discover what we are up to. If you have investigated our beautiful website you will have noticed that Webmaestro Beverley Bennett has instituted a counter, which shows to the second how much time is left before our performance on 5 December in Bowral. Do visit the Serendipity site - there is information about events and also about our singers, with a picture gallery of past events and the repertoire which the choir has sung - and much more. We again express our sincere thanks to Geoff Stewart for his wonderful encouragement and expertise in helping us establish our site.

The date for the Bundanoon Carols by Candlelight has been set as Monday 14 December and Serendipity will be leading the carol singing. We look forward to seeing many of you at one of our December concerts, and hearing you at the Carols.
