2020
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Noosa Chorale cancelled choir rehearsals in mid-March, and postponed the year's three major concerts to 2021. However, with the easing of some restrictions in November and December, the Chorale was delighted to participate as small troupes of carol-singers in some local Noosa community events: a performance by ferry around the Noosa River organised by local real estate agents Reed & Co; and the "12 Days of Christmas" festivities held in Hastings Street organised by the Hastings Street Association. Photos of these events can be seen on our Gallery pages.
