A Community Choir in the Heart of Lindisfarne
Why sing in a choir?
The physiological benefits of singing, and music more generally, have long been explored. Music making exercises the brain as well as the body, but singing is particularly beneficial for improving breathing, posture and muscle tension.
Music has been used in different cultures throughout history in many healing rituals, and is already used as a therapy in our own culture (for the relief of mental illness, breathing conditions and language impairment, for example). Everyone can sing – however much we might protest – meaning it is one of the most accessible forms of music making, too. Song is a powerful therapy indeed. Read more on the benefits of singing.
We are a community choir of predominantly retired singers of varied musical experience. We enjoy each other’s company, and like to keep our rehearsals fun and social.
We sing a variety of repertoire, in 3 or 4 part harmony, and perform two major concerts each year.
The choir holds regular weekly Thursday evening rehearsals from 7.00 p.m. 9.00 p.m. at the Lindisfarne Activities Centre, 37A Lincoln Street, Lindisfarne, Tasmania.
