Carnegie Community Centre – Concert and Sing-Along
We sang for our very delicious lunches, including the famous and fabulous potato salad, at a concert and sing-along at the Carnegie Community Centre. We enjoyed taking requests from and singing festive music with our audience.
The centre was thrilled to receive the generous donation of new socks, gloves, and toques collected from our concert attendees the previous weekend (see below). These warm-clothing items were distributed to those in need.

Fall Concert with World Debut of Two New Songs
Thank you to all of our performers and attendees at our 2024 Fall Concert. Thank you also to the choir members who volunteered to organize and to help out making this concert happen.
We enjoyed guest performance by Sudanda and by the Legion of Flying Monkeys. We were honoured to sing the world premiers of two new songs:
- Brave Little Hunter by Sydney Water and
- Peach by Claudia Stewart
Thank you to everyone who brought new socks, toques, and gloves to donate to the Carnegie Centre’s warm clothing drive. They were happy to receive these items when we brought them to our concert there the following week.
