After the huge success of the 10th anniversary concert last year, Badger Creek Women’s Choir (BCWC) is now getting back to set for this year’s concert.
The BCWC is a community choir where all members sing a mix of modern styles of music like rock, pop, funk, soul and Celtic music while making new friends.
Choir director Jenny Legg said the BCWC is now in its 11th year, and it is a social choir where all women are welcome to join.
“We get together and really enjoy singing and having a laugh, and we have a little supper each rehearsal night,” she said.
“We do a lot of community performances. Our biggest performance each year is the annual concert, which is usually held in November at the Healesville Memorial Hall.
“Thanks to the generosity of Yarra Ranges Council, we are supported to have that wonderful venue to put on a free community concert. We hire a full band of some of Melbourne’s finest musicians to perform at that concert, and we provide a lovely supper for people who come along.”
The 10th anniversary concert last year was fully booked and enjoyed by everyone who attended.
This year, the annual concert will be held at 7pm on Saturday 8 November.
“We are doing some Stevie Wonder, Coldplay, Beatles, blues, Neil Young, and there’ll be some solos as well,” Ms Legg said.
Rehearsals for the next concert will begin on 30 July.
“We would love to have people join our rehearsals if they would like to,” the choir director said.
“We rehearse from 7pm to 9pm each Wednesday night at the Healesville Memorial Hall.
“Later in the year, we’ve been invited to sing at Balgownie Estate Yarra Valley for a carols event, so people can also join us for that as well.”
