Ring out the bells, 2020 has passed on. A new year.

Unlike last January in Australia, we are not coping with fires, floods, pandemics, and hardship…well not as bad anyway. Music can be now played in most venues, one can go out to a restaurant, and travel domestically at least. Having attempted a holiday at the end of last year, we had to endure a week of crappy weather, before having to make a dash to the state border (Queensland and New South Wales), because of an outbreak in Sydney.

Boredom as a musician had well and truly set in with most of the 2020 season been cancelled. Brisbane Chorale was fortunate too get in a concert series of Brahms. It was recorded thankfully.

Now that 2021 has rolled around, and restrictions have eased, many organisations seem to be programming events to make up for the lost season of 2020. If Brisbane Chorale concert diary anything to go by, we are in for a rocket of a season.

I have just spent the last 2 hours, updating my calendars on Facebook, and this website, inputting dates, times, venues, and additional info (if it confirmed to go). See Upcoming Events & Performances page.

Guess, its time to pull out the music folder, dust off the croaky voice and get my ass back into practicing and strengthening vocally. It is going to be a doozy of a year barring any further disruptions.
