Our amazing Harmonians shared their beautiful voices and inspiring songs with an enthusiastic audience at the Sunshine Coast Choral Festival.
Our repertoire included a lively choreographed African number and powerful indigenous Djabugay language song featuring calls from the rainforest.
Nine choirs and 209 singers participated in this year’s concert, showcasing a diverse range of styles from barbershop to rock and pop. We always love gathering at this event and have so much fun.

It was  fabulous to end our first full year of singing post covid at our fave Christmas venue, Curly's on the Boardwalk. Lots of fun, laughter, singing, dress ups and games made for a wonderful finale to our choir year. We're all looking forward to a lovely holiday to ready ourselves for another year of vocal and community sharing in 2023.

Cool Harmonies farewelled yet another one of our beautiful choir members last Tuesday when we came together to celebrate the life of Pat Kelly.
Pat and her husband Bill joined Cool Harmonies back in 2007, and were with us for many years until they were both diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. Pat was an accomplished pianist and accompanied us on a number of songs, as well as performing some beautiful solos with her sweet sounding soprano voice. She was a very graceful and gracious woman with a strong sense of community and social justice. She also had the wickedest sense of humour and a smile that would light up the room when she entered.
A number of us were able to attend her funeral and it was an honour to sing a few of her favourite songs. Pat and Bill are now together, singing those luscious harmonies along with the angels. Our love and heartfelt whooshes go out to Pat’s family. She will be dearly missed.

After two long years of waiting, we were finally able to get together to share in some fun and frivolity at our fabulous Singsational Sunday. We shared a whole day filled with laughter, smiles, silly games and of course blissful and harmonious singing. Moments like these are such a joy as they allow us to reconnect, and for our wonderful newcomers, make new friends, so thank you to everyone for being part of this special day.

Our magnificent Cool Harmonies team of Fran, June, Rochelle, Libby, Carolyn, Libby and Sharron rocked the River Stage in Brisbane with a thousand other singers, belting out the brilliant four-part arrangement of Vanessa Amorosi’s popular hit ‘Absolutely everybody’. This Queensland Music Festival initiative organised by Jonathon Welch and Emma Dean was a wonderful way to bring community singers back together again after such a long time apart and the whole event was captured on video.  Can’t wait to see our girls in the final cut who not only looked fabulous but sounded spectacular too.

It wouldn't be Christmas without our annual lunch at Curly's on the Boardwalk. We gathered to share the merriment after being socially distanced most of the year and look forward to more groovy harmonies in 2021. Photos: Tina Stubbs.

What a strange year it's been for our wonderful Cool Harmonians. From Zoom sessions to outdoor singing venues and now to a new spacious hall. But we’re back and we couldn’t be happier! Social distancing is a bit of a challenge as is singing in smaller numbers, but being able to gather together again to create luscious harmonies is truly magnificent - in fact so brilliant we are all laid back, relaxed and ‘Feeling Good’ ... could that be a cue for our latest song?
