The acclaimed Ballarat Choral Society (BCS) will be in full song when it presents ‘For the Joy of Singing’ at Ballarat Performing Arts Community this August.
Led by its musical director Helen Duggan, the BCS will perform a set of songs from Calvin Bowman’s ‘An Elizabethan Song Book’, along with another set of songs from John Rutter’s ‘The Sprig of Thyme”.
The Ballarat Voices, Ballarat’s celebrated children’s choir, will also perform some Australian songs under the direction of its musical director Lyndell Allen.
The BCS, which specialises in religious and secular classical music, has a long and revered history of more than 120 years. Originally founded as a community choir, it is renowned for always striving for high standards in its performances, tackling both classic and contemporary compositions.
