Choirs’ fun ‘50s birthday bash!
CABOOLTURE Community Choir and Bribie’s Gallery Singers will stage a very special two-hour joint performance at KSP Theatre on Saturday, June 21st, commencing at 2pm.
Caboolture Community Choir has a proud history of bringing the joy of music to hospital patients and residents in Aged Care Homes, as well as entertaining at shopping centres and community events. This year is the choir’s 30th birthday, so it’s fitting that the choir should be planning to celebrate with a special performance.
Songs chosen for the Back to the 1950’s concert include Gene Kelly’s uplifting love song, “Singin’ in the Rain”; the folk song, “Jamaican Farewell” from Harry Belafonte’s album Calypso; Elvis Presley hit from the movie Blue Hawaii, “Can’t Help Falling in Love” in a medley with “Let it Be Me”; “Hernando’s Hideaway” from the movie The Pajama Game; and a “Tribute to the Everly Brothers” featuring “All I Have to Do is Dream”, “Bye Bye Love”, and “Wake Up Little Susie”.
Caboolture Community Choir’s Musical Director, June Willoughby, has been a member of the Caboolture Community Choir and Bribie Gallery Singers for 30 years and 25 years respectively. Discussing plans for this grand event, June Willoughby said,
“Singing with a bigger group intensifies the uplifting, feel-good effect music gives. I am looking forward to sharing our birthday year at a combined event and with a new audience… and who doesn’t love the music of the 50’s?”
Bookings for the Back to the 50’s concert can be made online at https://www.trybooking.com/events/landing/1389699 (or search: Trybooking Back to the 50’s Concert). Tickets are $15, and refreshments will be available for purchase during interval. All proceeds will be donated to Rural Aid.
The KSP Theatre is located on the corner of Old Bay Road and Maitland Road, Burpengary. Doors will open at 1:30pm for a 2pm to 4pm performance. Choir members expect a large audience for this exciting event and urge interested folk to book early.
