The ability to read music is not essential and a warm welcome is extended to all who share a love of choral singing, as well as to beginners.  The focal point of the year is the Christmas concert which is held in the Perth Concert Hall.  Other works performed previously have included The Creation, Mozart’s Requiem, Vivaldi’s Gloria Bach’s Magnificat, Mozart Mass in C and Poulenc’s Gloria.  Additionally, there is a sectional rehearsal for each of the four sections.
