What a wonderful night of celebration we had, 1920s style, at Wrest Point on the 15th May! This would normally have been our national convention weekend, and what better way to mark this than to make it our official "birthday" party in full glitter and glam! We had performances, dancing, fashion parades, speeches, photos... and LOTS of fun.Hobart Harmony is having a full year of celebrations for this, our 20th year since chartering with Sweet Adelines International.

So exciting to have a real-live coach back working with us after more than a year! And how lucky are we? The amazing Glenda Lloyd spent the whole weekend with us, working on so many amazing things. Thanks Glenda - can't wait to see you again soon!

Last night we added two new baritones to Hobart Harmony! Congratulations Ange and Sally. My, how our numbers are growing! And just in time for some coaching coming up this weekend. It's been a long time, and we are READY for it!

A bit behind the times with this blog... three more beautiful members added to our number a couple of weeks ago! So exciting to welcome two new tenors and a new baritone! Congratulations Monica, Lisa and Tash :-)

Wow - has it really been over a year since we set these up?? Took a bit of "remembering" on how to do it, but how WONDERFUL to be able to sing on them again!

A big welcome to two new members! Olivia and Kate (pictured centre)  took part in our "Don't Stop Me Now" come and try series, and have gone on to successfully audition and join our membership. So fabulous to have you with us :-)

Yesterday a number of our chorus members were at the Mount Stuart Hall to get some movement and choreography practice in. With our chorus rehearsal venue currently dominated by chairs, why not move to a dance hall and enjoy having the room to move? And, while you're at it, why not learn some Charleston moves ready for our chorus 20s themed Gala Event at Wrest Point coming up in May? So much fun. Thanks to our amazing visual leaders Rachel and Ainslie - you are amazing :-)

Welcome to our first "official" new member for 2021! Gill travels down from the North West of the state every Monday to join us in rehearsals - talk about keen! 

We have a number of other prospective members at the moment, following on from our membership drive over February... so exciting to share this amazing thing we do with so many enthusiastic newbies! Who will be our next "official" member....??

The first night of our "Don't Stop Me Now" come and sing with us series went off with a bang! With some 15 guests attending, we absolutely rose the ceiling of our rehearsal venue!

If you didn't make it along, it's not too late: there are still two more Monday nights to go! Why not come and give it a go?? 7-9.30pm Guilford Young College Performing Arts Centre, Patrick Street, Hobart.

Hobart Harmony has a big year in 2021: we celebrate 25 years since the chorus first formed, and an official 20 years of chartering (becoming fully-fledged members) with Sweet Adelines International. To kick start our celebrations we had a chorus dinner at our retreat, with cocktails, food and of course a wonderful cake!

We are so looking forward to opening our doors for new people to come and join us and have a go at singing a cappella! We're going to be working on a couple of really fun songs, including "Don't Stop Me Now" and "These Boots Were Made for Walking"! Check out the flyer and come along from Monday 15th Feb, 7pm.

What a year - and what a celebration! Thank you to the members of the music and management teams who stepped up to the plate and helped keep everyone enthused and engaged during this challenging time. And now, focusing on 2021 - our chorus's 25th anniversary of forming and 20th anniversary of chartering with Sweet Adelines International. Looking forward to celebrating through a range of events! Bring it on.

Members of the management and music teams spent the afternoon making plans for the year to come. Hobart Harmony is celebrating its 20th anniversary of chartering with Sweet Adelines International, and 25 years since it first formed! Lots of exciting things ahead :-)

With extra precautions in place, last month the amazing members of Hobart Harmony got back to sizzling sausages to raise funds for the chorus! Slowly and surely finding some normality back in our chorus life :-)

After 4 months without face-to-face rehearsals, we've had two this week! The first was all about movement, with great activities from our visual leaders, a special guest dance teacher, and then social drinks! Two days later... our first singing rehearsal since March. So wonderful to see everyone :-)
