There must be something in the air! Welcome to our two newest members: Jen (lead) and Maddie (bass). Can't wait to perform with you this week :-)

Welcome to our newest baritone Jane! So excited to have you with us :-)

The first weekend in May was convention time in Sweet Adelines Australia, and Hobart Harmony took to the stage in Brisbane with 49 competitors! It was such a fun experience, and the education opportunities were fabulous, with open coaching for us with two international judges. Now we're looking forward to putting the concepts into play.

Congratulations Ainslie, our 2023 SAOTY! Ainslie has contributed SO much over the last year, as part of the visual team, music leader for the leads, and part of the warm up team. She has recently stepped up as our second Assistant Director, and is about to start as a member of our National Regional Education Faculty! We are so lucky to have Ainslie and are so pleased to acknowledge her with this award.

Welcome to our newest member, Gemma! So nice to have another fabulous Lead join the chorus - and heading to competition with us!!

How wonderful to have the amazing Kim Vaughn working with our chorus and two of our quartets last weekend! We learned so much from this fabulous woman, and can't wait to put it onto the contest stage. Thank you Kim for sharing your incredible talent and knowledge.

A big welcome to Jan joining our ever-growing fabulous bass section!

Welcome to Lynn, one of our fabulous new basses!

We've had some fabulous prospective members through our doors so far this year! Welcome to Karen, our first new lead for 2023!

Such a beautiful place to sing! St David's Cathedral was the venue for our end of year Christmas concert, and it was an amazing event. 

So wonderful to have the amazing Jo Oosterhoff coaching us again! She certainly packed heaps of work into her weekend with us - what a way for her to spend her birthday. How lucky are we to have access to such fabulous educators in our own country?  So much knowledge, and so much to learn! Thanks so much Jo and Sweet Adelines Australia xxx

Festival of Voices is happening, and we've had some great experiences so far! Last night we hosted a workshop called "Sing with Hobart Harmony", with over 20 guests taking part. So much fun! Next stop: the A Cappella Concert this Friday night at the Federation Concert Hall!

It was lovely to get the opportunity to sing and compete on the wonderful Federation Concert Hall stage as part of the City of Hobart Eisteddfod on Monday. The chorus sang so beautifully, taking out the Show Choir and Open Choir sections, as well as winning the Tasmanian Chorale Trophy for best a cappella performance. One of our small ensembles, Collab, also won the Vocal Ensemble section. Well done everyone!

25 members recently attended the Sweet Adelines Australia Festival in Adelaide, representing the chorus and performing three songs in the Festival Concert. The team did an amazing job, even adding an extra song with one day's notice! Well done to all who went - we can't wait to take an even bigger team to the competition in Brisbane next year!

Although this was last month, we want to thank our awesome Visual Coach Liliana Macarone! What an amazing weekend we had, finding the story in our songs, and allowing ourselves to tell it! Thanks Liliana, you are amazing!
