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!

Congratulations to Yvonne, our Sweet Adeline of the Year for 2022. Yvonne has done SO much for us, with great humour and tireless energy! We love you Yvonne!!

A bit delayed in the blogging, but welcome to our newest member, Claire! Another lovely lead voice :-)

….and getting that visual plan happening!!

Congratulations Maddy, our new baritone! We're so glad to have you with us.

Check out our fabulous smiles under those masks :-)

What a lovely start to the year: singing for a wedding at St David's Cathedral. Such a beautiful venue, and such an honour to take part in this special day in January.

Not our usual gig, but so much fun! Leading the crowd in some carols on Christmas Eve.

How lucky are we?! The fabulous Jo Oosterhoff, Master Director of A Cappella West Chorus in WA, has been spending the week with us, sharing her amazing skills and knowledge of barbershop with our chorus and with a number of quartets. What a wonderful educator she is - we can't wait to keep working on the skills she has brought to us.

We had such a wonderful time presenting our "Back in Business" show at the Hobart College Theatre on 7th August. We are so lucky that we are able to sing together at this time, and to be able to perform and share this joy with others! Thank you to our wonderful guest performers, and to our family, friends and fans who came along to support us. Celebrate what you CAN do, and never take anything for granted xxx

So exciting to have two new members officially join us! Welcome to the clan Ang and Deanna!

What an amazing time the chorus had sharing our love of barbershop with Festival of Voices participants in July! Aside from our performance opportunities, Jenni ran two workshops: one, called "Barbershop Basics", which broke down what makes our style of singing so unique, and one simply entitled "Sing with Hobart Harmony", where participants joined in with the chorus to sing barbershop and contemporary a cappella songs. The enthusiasm was amazing, and we all had so much fun! Thanks Festival of Voices, so glad we were able to participate!

A night with a difference! On 29th May, a number of the chorus's small ensembles braved the stage and the lights to perform for family, friends and fellow chorus members! We had nine of our approximately 13 ensembles perform... such a fun evening! Hoping to do some more of these in the near future. Such a great way to expand our singing skills.
