CITY OF VINCENT SUPPORTS MARRIAGE EQUALITY
The City of Vincent, where we rehearse, has unanimously voted to fly the rainbow flag during the whole period of the plebiscite as a gesture of solidarity with the LGBTIQ community.
Which is why we're especially honoured to have been asked to sing at the September City of Vincent Citizenship Ceremony at Royal Park Hall. It's tangible actions like this that reinforce our feeling that we are all equally valued in our community. Thank you City of Vincent - you rock!

LOOKING BACK AT 2015
2015 has been an amazing year for the Choir. Our numbers have grown and we’ve performed more public concerts than ever, including our recent annual concert SWING OUT LOUD which was our biggest ever - both in terms of the choir AND the audience.
We’ve been particularly proud to sing at the 30th birthday celebrations of the WA Aids Council, on the Heath Ledger stage at the State Theatre Centre for the launch of Black Swan Theatre Company’s 2016 season, Dunsborough SongFest and our first ever performance at Fringeworld.
We were also the only performers invited to the launch of 2015 Pride where we sang to a distinguished audience including the Lord Mayor of Perth – who asked for an encore!

THAT'S IT FOR 2014
The Choir is now on its Christmas break, with only the small matter of our Christmas party, which is always a lot of fun (we play evil Santa!). We'll be back together in January rehearsing for Fringeworld in February, so now is a great time to join!
OPENING NIGHT - THE BEST OF BROADWAY
