Welcome to winter! With very cold weather upon us once more, we’re investigating options to meet at Owen Dixon Chambers. For now, however, we’ll continue at the Welch Church.

Ingrid’s art exhibition opening is tomorrow (Thu) night. Best of luck, Ingrid! More details below.

Last week we started learning a fantastic English renaissance madrigal called “Come Again” and had a lot of fun doing it. It’s full of double entendres (wink!). See below for links to rehearsal tracks.

This week we will also revisit The Lion Sleeps Tonight:
