Penrith Children’s City Choir (PCCC) is open to all children 7 – 13 years of age. PCCC operates on a project basis with each project consisting of two to three Sunday afternoon workshops ending with a performance. There are no auditions – all you need is a love of singing.
Participation in PCCC allows children to:
Penrith City Children’s Choir 2020 Projects Project I ‘SINGING DAY’ Sunday 29 March 3.00 – 5.30pm. Enjoy an exuberant afternoon of singing, moving and playing instruments. All members, old and new, will enjoy the hilarious round ‘My Dad’s Car’, the hypnotic Israeli song ‘Haida’ and the driving rhythm of ‘The Earth is Our Mother’. Through this wide-ranging and colourful repertoire we develop vocal technique, musicianship and part-singing skills in an encouraging and joyful learning environment supported by experienced adult mentors. A great introductory ‘taster’ for new members. Family and friends are invited to attend an informal performance at the end of the workshop.
