The Altona Community Choir will mark its 40th anniversary with a special concert on Sunday, October 12.
The event, which is part of the wider Seniors Festival, will take place at 2pm at the Altona Seniors Citizen Centre.
Choir secretary Linda Scott said its members were excited about the event,
“We’re thrilled that it started 40 years ago and it’s still going strong,” she said.
“We all get so much out of it.”
The choir, which boasts 32 members, including a healthy number of men, which Ms Scott said is not always the case in community choirs.
She said performing for the community was a highlight for the group.
“We get so much out of singing and being together, and we also know that when we go to sing in nursing homes, it makes a big difference in the residents’ days. They often come up and ask us when we’re coming back,” she said.
Anyone interested in joining the choir is encouraged to attend rehearsals on Mondays, from 7.15-9.15pm at the Altona Senior Citizen Club.
