Sarah Hubbard who was one of the finalists in this year’s Lexus song contest has agreed to sing some solo items for us and she also will provide soloist support to some of the choir’s songs.
Tickets can be pre-purchased from choir members or by emailing Neville Carr at nevcarr@gmail.com. Tickets will be sold at the venue on the day, starting 1 hour before the concert. Cash sale only please. Adults $20, Students and Children $10.
The concert should go for just over one hour without an interval. We are recommending the audience wear masks

The concert will future our two current scholars, Emma McClean and Kieran Kelly, and Erica Paterson who was our scholar from 2017 to 2020. The Scholars will sing selected items from their current repertoire and the choir will sing a small number of songs, a mixture of old favorites and new songs.
RSA Choir Vocal Scholars Concert
The RSA Choir Scholar Concert will future all current choir scholars Lillian Gibbs, Emma McClean and Alexander McAdam. Since last year the scholars had no opportunity to sing their songs at a choir event, the choir decided to host this special event with all three scholars presenting a selection of songs of their choosing. It will be a wide selection of items. The choir will just sing a small number of songs, 4 old favorites and two new items.
We have the privilege to be able to use the St Patrick’s Basilica at 40 Macandrew Rd, South Dunedin for this event. A very fitting venue. The only thing is, seat numbers are limited to 300. So please come reasonably early to secure your seat.
Tickets will be sold just before the concert, starting 1 hour before the concert. - Subscribers will get entry by presenting their copy of the Chairman’s letter sent to them by email or post
