FOR those who were fortunate enough to see the Bowraville Theatre Singers earlier this year presenting their ‘Five Years That Shook the World’ concerts, you could be forgiven for thinking that they had delivered a performance that would be near impossible to top. In the months since their last sold-out concert series, the Singers’ musical director, Lissa Argue, and the rest of this talented ensemble, have once again put together a production that is destined to thrill audiences all over again.

The audience can also expect to be delighted by very stirring Goin’ Home by Dvorak, a setting of the William Blake poem Tiger Tiger and classics such as El Shaddai, Waiting for the Light to Shine, Lean on Me and Stand By Me. As an added treat for concert goers, local composers Paul and Bonnie Jarman will have two of their compositions performed by the Singers. Classics from the Heart will be presented at 2:00 pm on Sunday 10 December 2023 at the Bowraville Theatre. Doors and cafe open at 1:30 pm on 10 December and tickets are $20.00 and are available by going to www.bowravilletheatre.com.au and following the links. Tickets may be purchased at the door however the Bowraville Arts Council advises that performances by the Bowraville Theatre Singers tend to sell out, so buying tickets online is recommended.
