ARPA Choir at Resthaven, Paradise Gardens, S.A.
This year is our 25th.Anniversary - click here for details.
Ours is a very friendly four-part (SATB) community choir.
Musical Director - Daphne Harris.
We welcome all singers, but are particularly in need of (guess!) more tenors!
If you can't read music, you can bring a small tape-recorder
Rehearsals take place weekly from 9.30am to 11.30am on Thursdays, unless we have a performance that day.
We also take a 6 week break over Christmas/New Year.
2009 Schedule
New Venue
In 2009 rehearsals will take place in the Theosophical Hall, 310 South Terrace, Adelaide.
This is right next to the TPI building on the NW corner of South Terrace & Hutt Street, opposite the Southern parklands.
Our thanks to ADELAIDE THEOSOPHICAL SOCIETY for this comfortable and more central location.
Performances: we aim to give at least two concerts for seniors every month,
on weekday afternoons or mornings, at Retirement Homes and Community Centres.
Our one-hour programmes are musically varied,
and selected to cheer and entertain. They include solo items & comedy acts.
Sample Programme
When the performance ends, our hosts usually give us afternoon tea.
What to wear - Ladies - long black skirt, black shoes (not sandals) & black stockings,
plain coloured blouse worn outside the skirt, with sleeves at least long enough to cover the elbow.
Gentlemen - plain dark suit, black shoes, white shirt, tie of your choice.
The concert schedule is set at the beginning of the year - since few of us can guarantee to be at every performance,
this gives us the chance to ensure that our average of 15 singers turn up for any one concert.
In addition to ARPA membership, we each contribute $3 per practice, 50c. if absent,
which goes towards paying our accompanist.
