Two Bays Choir, located on the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria, is a combination of three community a'cappella choirs. 'Simply Irresistible' sings Blues and Swing, and rehearses on Monday nights in Frankston. 'Making Waves' focuses on World Music and meets on Tuesdays, whilst 'Indigo Singers' is a Gospel Choir which combines rehearsal with the Tuesday night choir in Mornington. There are no auditions. Men and women of all ages and experience are welcome.
What an energising experience - again - to be part of the Millennium Chorus.

One of the songs that was great fun was "Singing For Rain" which begins with the rain starting and becoming a thunder storm. As you look at the YouTube video below, watch the grinning faces while the action unfolds. What an appropriate topic for our poor drought affected country-side.
For those who know us at Two Bays Choir, there are lots of familiar faces.
I would add a comment as your Resident Blogger, who was not around for the 2009 event, that the songs on the CD are great and it's a great pleasure to listen to them for inspiration.
In November, 2008, women from Two Bays Choir helped to to celebrate 100 years of Womens Suffrage in Victoria. The Victorian Women's Trust held a forum which closed with the Women's Anthem, "Love and Justice" written and conducted by Kavisha Mazzella. Our choir members joined the 400 strong women's chorus for this moving rendition at the BMW Edge, Melbourne.

If you'd like to hear this song which is so strong and up-lifting, see it on YouTube, and make sure your speakers are switched on...
The Mornington Peninsula Choral Festival, May 2008, held at Toorak College, a wonderful venue with many spaces in which we can sing to both large and small audiences.
