Gospel Choir Tony Backhouse Workshop |
SING FOR CAPRICORNWe are people from the community who love to sing. There is no audition, no need to read music and we welcome all to attend our Thursday evening rehearsals from 7:00 to 9:00 at the Community Development Centre in John St, Yeppoon. Our emphasis is on fun and enjoyment of the music and each other while seeking to develop an understanding of the music and add skill in our delivery.

Term 1: 22 February to 28 March Term 2: 18 April to 20 June Term 3: 11 July to 12 September Term 4: 3 October to 12 Dec What does it cost?

Beginning with 4 members we have grown under the encouragement and musical direction of Jakki King to over 65 people, as the Capricorn Gospel Choir. We are a community access choir that began life in March 2015 just after cyclone Marcia. We have performed at Carols by the Beach, Festival of the winds, Village Festival, nursing home and most notably flashmob with Santa at Keppel Plaza (3 times so far). Like a phoenix rising from the ashes that was Covid 19. We Thank Jakki for her generosity and strive to keep the Choir as vibrant as it was in the Post Marcia days. The Choir is reborn under a new choral conductor Lorraine Manifold. You can visit us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/singforcapricorn
