Local choir raises money for children's choir

A local choir will hold a performance in December to raise money for the Moorambilla children's choir in north-west NSW.

The family-friendly performance by the Frantastic Choir will be held at the Peninsula Community Centre on Monday, December 5, from 2pm.

Inspired by the recent movie Wide Open Sky, proceeds from the performance will go to the Moorambilla Voices, which relies on public donations for its work.

The day will include the performance, a raffle and afternoon tea, with entry costing $5.

The Frantastics meet every Monday in the Walter Baker Hall, rehearsing for their performances which include harmonious choral renditions of well-known songs, solos, duos, a women's sextet, a choral melodrama and humorous skits, all of which make the choir's repertoire unique on the Coast.

Musical director Ms Fran Kendall is an experienced musician, director and performer.

Amidst much hilarity and fellowship, the choir's 60 members have vocal training and musical numbers are learned and rehearsed.

The lengthy repertoire comprises songs from the groups' childhood.

The choir is eager to play at any venue that has a piano but they are also willing to provide a keyboard if necessary.
