Members attend outback choral camp

Four of our Cool Harmonians experienced the Big Sing in the Desert on the June long weekend, a four-day choral camp near Alice Springs in the Northern Territory.  "It was a fantastic cultural and musical meeting between 77 'white fellas' and around 70 Indigenous singers," said Barb.  "We were fortunate to learn many Indigenous songs as well as two excellent African songs which we hope to share with our choir. We climbed mountains, yarned and sang our hearts out - it was a really wonderful experience."

Clive unveils his Archibald Prize entry

Our Bass member and Master Artist Clive Holden has unveiled his portrait entry into this year's prestigious Archibald Prize. Clive began the massive painting last year after watching a rehearsal by Jonathon Welch’s Choir of Hope and Inspiration (formerly the Choir of Hard Knocks) in Melbourne’s Federation Square. “I was blown away by the choir’s enthusiasm and energy,” he said. “I was so inspired I asked Jonathon if I could paint him and the choir for the Archibald.” The portrait is Clive’s second entry into the Archibald Prize. Last year he submitted a controversial portrait of Julian Assange, titled ‘Everyday Hero’. Jonathon viewed the portrait during his visit to Coolum Beach at the weekend where he conducting two music workshops at the Coolum Civic Centre on 17 February.

Dearest Patricia, Rosalie, Margie fond farewell.
We’ll all miss you being part of our crew.
Your contribution to our fabulous choir,
made us soar higher above the sea.
Everyone loves Sopranos you see.
You hit the high notes with effortless ease.
Come back and join us whenever you please,
You’re welcome just take a seat.

We love to sing for our choir friends, especially when  they're celebrating a milestone birthday! Jeanette's husband Keith received a surprise visit from us and a special dedication song for his 70th birthday on Sunday. Many happy returns to you, Keith - you're what we call true blue.
