Monday January 25 saw Te Tira gather together for another year of song. And how wonderful it was to hear the crew lend their voices to new repertoire: Deep Peace, Salley Gardens and O Cio De Terra.
Many members were still on holidays or taking advantage of a long weekend. So we expect to be in full force next week.
New members are always welcome. Why not make joining a choir one of your new year resolutions or if that”s not your thing, just resolve to explore your voice in a safe and fun environment.
We meet at Bardon Community Hall, 247B Simpsons Rd, Bardon @ 7:30pm. Parking at Bowman Park.

Te Tira sang beautifully during a full acapella choral program on July 26 to launch conductor Kiri Waiata’s first songbook for community choirs.
The concert included other local community choirs Peace’n’Choir based in Mt Nebo and the Deep C Diva’s based in Ashgrove. One of Kiri’s other singing groups Word Of Mouth travelled from Northern New South Wales to participate in the concert. As did guest soloist 11 year old Tulsai Krasna.
We All Sing Under THE SAME MOON Acapella Songbook for community choirs can be purchased and instantly downloaded here.
We are now working on a new set of repertoire gearing up for an end of year performance. Songs include Beatles hit If I Fell, Hope from Sweet Honey in the Rock and Teach Your Children penned by Graham Nash of Crosby Stills and Nash fame.
It’s a great time to join us!

Director Kiri is in the midst of a steep learning curve.
The desire for Te Tira to be heard at its best at upcoming concerts in June and July has driven Kiri to delve into technical and software places never before considered.
New notation, conversion and engraving software is at the ready.
It would seem the days of learning a song aurally alone, are gone. Scores and practice audios are the way to go!
Wish Kiri luck!
