Concert Review

Resonance of Birralee and Birralee Blokes performed to sold out hall of friends and family in a cabaret style Christmas performance. Resonance and the Blokes also thanked their assisting volunteer staff with gifts. In true Birralee fashion, the audience performed with us, singing Silent Night and Deck the Halls, and accompanying the Blokes with car key percussion during Feliz Navidad. 

Resonance also donated a collective sum to provide scholarships to emerging choristers next year. Voices of Birralee are immensely grateful for your collective donation and generosity.
