requests to perform have come from Churches, Community
groups, and various
charity functions held throughout the Shoalhaven and
surrounding areas.
Rehearsals are on Wednesday evenings from 6:30 to 9:00 at St
Andrews
Church Hall, Kinghorne Street, Nowra.
New members are always
welcome, so if you enjoy singing and would like to

Our
history :
The
group was formed in 1976 by the late Don Dudgeon, to perform choral
works, both
sacred and secular. The initial choir of twelve voices soon
established a
reputation for excellence which has been their continuing aim.
Since those early
days our membership has grown to over 40 voices: this has
enabled us to perform
large choral works, such as Mozart's Mass in C, Handel's
Messiah,
Mendelssohn's magnificent oratorio Elijah, and Masses by Haydn and
Schubert. Recent concerts have included A Night On Broadway, A Night
At the
Opera, and an a cappella performance at Huskisson's See Change
Festival.
The Shoalhaven Lydian
Singers have participated in the annual Shoalhaven Eisteddfod for
many years,
both as a full choir and as smaller groups taken from within the
choir. We also
sponsor several sections in the Eisteddfod, to encourage young
musicians in
their careers.
Our current musical
director is Lesley. New members are always welcome,
so if you enjoy
singing and would like to join our choir, please contact us.
