THERE is plenty of research to show that listening to and participating in music has a profound effect on mental and emotional health, as well as balancing heart, brain, central nervous system and immune function.
As well as reducing stress and negative feelings, it boosts vitality and clarity and it’s fun.
The Voice Weavers choir have been singing together since 2006 and are about to put on another concert this weekend at the Tweed Civic Centre.
Fresh from winning two silver awards at an international singing competition in Vietnam and taking part in the very successful production of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Whistle Down the Wind, this lively bunch of vocalists, aged from 15 to 70 something, a ready to entertain.
Choir director Brett Logan said this month’s concert, their major fundraiser for the year, will include all the old favourites as well as some new songs the Weavers have been working on.
“You can’t stop these people,” Brett joked.
“This will be the choir’s 19th performance this year.”
He said the group was also always looking for new members with a love of music and a cappella choir singing.
Their will be two concerts including a matinee performance at 2pm (Qld) as well as the evening performance. There will be several guest singers as well as small and large group configurations.
As well as the music there will be a silent auction, raffles and a door prize.
