Congratulations Minister Hazzard!
Congratulations to The NSW Minister for Planning and Infrastructure, The Honorable Brad Hazzard! Finally we have a positive commitment from the State Government on a long overdue necessity for our region. FOPAP wholeheartedly endorses and supports the Minister’s decision to go ahead with Stage 1 of The Landing Project at Gosford, which of course includes the much needed Regional Performing Arts and Conference Centre. We look forward to the securement of funding and the commencement of building, as soon as possible. The Media Release can be viewed by clicking on the link.
On another note I urge you to view the video clip which I discovered on You Tube recently. It says it all when we talk about the necessity for a decent home for Concert Music on the Coast. Simply click the link, CCSO
Central Coast Philharmonia Choir Seeking Tenors
This Gosford based choir is gearing up for it’s 50 year anniversary in 2013. Phil Rees, Choir Director told choir members “We need more Tenors to tune up and join our choir in fantastic choral and classical works! We have a wonderful repertoire, get me enthusiastic Tenors!”.What is a Tenor? Mark Thomas, Tenor Section leader wants to know: “Have you ever sung along in the shower with Pavarotti? If yes, then we need you to join our dedicated yet small tenor section”.President, Trevor Moore argues “We don’t want to give the impression that you have to be a top tenor to join us, yet we hope that you would have some experience.”Check out our website to see recent repertoire: http://www.ccphilharmonia.com.au/history.htm. Central Coast Philharmonia Choir rehearses at 7.30 pm to 9.30 pm on Monday nights at the Central Coast Conservatorium, Mann St, Gosford.Come along and join us in song.
