Fresh from a string of successful “booked out” concerts, the Caboolture Community Choir is now launching an important search for a permanent musical director to lead the group into its next chapter.
A Community Staple in Transition
The choir is currently being guided by acting musical director June Willoughby. A dedicated and long-serving member, Ms Willoughby has been with the choir since its beginning in 1995 and brings a wide knowledge of music to the role. While the choir is grateful for her leadership, the group is actively seeking a permanent director to fill the position and continue its traditions.
The choir prides itself on being a true community group. It has no political or religious affiliations and operates as a non-competitive organisation, inviting any resident over the age of 18 who simply likes to sing.
Active in the Community
Despite the leadership search, the choir remains a busy and active part of the Caboolture community. The group already has ten bookings for performances at local aged care homes, shopping centres, and various civic functions. It performs regularly for public events and is also available to sing for private organisations in exchange for a small donation.
Two special concerts recently highlighted this community focus. The choir staged a free 30th Anniversary Concert and afternoon tea to raise public awareness, which was fully booked. It also held a joint “Back to ’50s” concert with the Bribe Gallery Singers, raising over $1200 for Rural Aid.
How to Get Involved
The group performs a wide variety of music, including contemporary songs, show tunes, movie themes, jazz, spirituals, and familiar Australian songs.
The Caboolture Community Choir is encouraging anyone interested in the musical director position to apply. It is also extending an open invitation for new singers to join its ranks. More information for both applicants and new members can be found on the choir’s Facebook page or its official website.
