Glee club will present 'enchanted evening'

The Pearl Beach Glee Club singers and friends will present "An Enchanted Evening" on August 19 and 20 at the Pearl Beach Memorial Hall.

The Friday performance will commence at 7:30pm and the Saturday matinee will start at 2:30pm.

The original Pearl Beach Glee Club was formed in the 1950s to raise funds to complete the Memorial Hall and they put on a number of Grand Concerts.

The Glee Club Singers was re-formed in 2010 by a group of local music lovers to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the original Glee Club.

The success of the anniversary concert encouraged the tradition to continue and each year members have maintained regular meetings around the piano.

The 2016 program will include vocal and instrumental items, guest performers and community singing.

Master of the House Dr John Irvine said: "This year we are delighted to feature a number of special guest performers including well known musical theatre personality Chris King; local opera diva Anita de Lisen; Sebastian and Anastasia Hibbard and winner of the 2016 Pearl Beach Scholarship, vocalist Tiana Young.

"The ever-popular melodrama returns with many twists, and turns and a surprising dramatic conclusion," Dr Irvine said.

"We invite everyone to come along and re-live an era before the advent of television, video and CDs, a time when entertainment was often impromptu and always spontaneous," he said.

Proceeds will go toward the Memorial Hall upkeep.

The hall is located at 9 Diamond Rd, Pearl Beach.

Tickets will be $20 per adult and $10 for children (under 15) and include the program and a welcome drink.

Bookings are recommended by calling 4341 4040 or 4341 8489.
