IF SINGING and choral music stir your soul or you have been thinking of joining a choir then make sure you visit the Coolum State School Hall on Saturday August 3 as choirs from across the Coast sing in unison for the Sunshine Coast Choral Festival.
Starting at 1.30pm the afternoon will be a celebration of joyous singing featuring Coolum’s very own community choirs Cool Harmonies and Waves of Harmony. Other choirs to feature will be Mouth Orchestra, InsingC, Noosa Rocks, New World Rhythm, Sunshine Statesmen Barbershop Chorus, Cooran Community Choir, Pitch-In, Joy of Singing Maleny and Oriana.
This annual festival of great entertainment covers many different genres of vocal music from classical to world music, contemporary to gospel, jazz, pop and rock.
The wide variety of styles showcased via the choirs will entertain the audience for a full two and a half hours. One of the main highlights of the event is the massed choir featuring over 300 voices who gather to close the concert with several songs including a resounding rendition of Handel’s Hallelujah Chorus.
