Christmas Community Singing in Queanbeyan Park

Christmas Community Singing in Queanbeyan Park is a fun-filled participatory event for the whole community!

The singing will take place under the beautiful shady trees of Queanbeyan Park, at the outdoor stage between Lowe Street and Brad Haddin Oval. The event is hosted by the new cultural charity The Cordialis Foundation, which supports our whole community in engaging with singing and the arts for community wellbeing!

Dr Georgia Pike-Rowney, Queanbeyan resident, researcher and singer, will lead the community in traditional heritage Christmas songs specifically chosen for their singability by a wide range of participants, including many old favourites. Accompanied by Dr Susan West on piano, and supported by Cordialis volunteers, the community will be encouraged to sing along, with lyric sheets made available on the day.

Simply bring a picnic blanket or some camp chairs and your singing voices - no rehearsal, previous knowledge, or singing experience is required! Just come along and join in!
