Cooma Harmony Chorus singing at the Cooma Music Competition 2006

Cooma Harmony Chorus singing at the Cooma Music Competition 2006

The Cooma Harmony Chorus is a community based choir made up of  women and men of all ages that share a love of singing together.

The Chorus is  a secular choir. They sing mainly unaccompanied (a cappella) four parts works. However, overweight the Chorus is very versatile has performed accompanied and unaccompanied works in many local events including, Handel’s Messiah, Gilbert & Sullivan Extravaganza, Choral Festivals, Christmas Carols, and Australia Day, Anzac Day & Remembrance Day.

The Chorus has been going for eighteen years and while we sing for the love of it, we also perform on average about once a month at all kinds of community events as well as christenings, birthdays, weddings and funerals.

We have a wonderful musical director, Leslie Spencer who is supported by a dedicated committee, with Marg Dowd (president),  Jane Reid (secretary) and Kathy Byrne (treasurer).

Our weekly rehearsals are held every Tuesday* night  6.45 pm for a start at precisely 7.00. Finish at 9.00 pm. We have been meeting at the Cooma Public School hall, corner Vale & Commissioner Streets, Cooma. (*Generally, rehearsals are not held during school holidays)

There is a small membership fee of $20 per month (excluding January & July) plus an annual fee of $5, and a one off $10 scarf hire. Holders of concession cards may apply for a discounted rate of $15 per month.  However, the first month is free. So why not give it a try?
