UPDATE: Amberley Singing Camp – November & January gatherings (dates tbc)
With the extension of lockdowns we are splitting our Annual Amberley Singing Camp into a face-to-face gathering in January (date tbc) along with a shorter, online gathering to take place in November (date tbc). The wonderful volunteers that make up the CMVIc VicSings Committee have been beavering away at developing a nurturing, replenishing and inspiring singing program for these events - an opportunity to relax, reset and enjoy the wonder of singing together in harmony. Contingency planning for COVID is a key consideration, as well as the impact of lockdowns on singing leaders' budgets. We'll have more details soon.
