Joy of Aging Cabaret
With the help of Pat Cranney and Christina Mimmocchi the choir wrote a script and songs for a 'Joy of Aging' cabaret. This was to be performed on stage but COVID-19 intervened and after several postponements it was decided to turn it into a Podcast. This was finally completed in April 2022 and can be found on our website under 'Repertoire/Podcast'. This was financed with a grant from Georges River Council.
