Fort Street Chamber Choir and Recorder Ensemble perform at Echos in the Nave

On Friday 20th of June, the Fort Street Chamber Choir and Recorder Ensemble delivered an amazing performance alongside Harmoni Choirs at Echos in the Nave, at Hunter Baillie Memorial Presbyterian Church in Annandale. The vocals were outstanding, and the recorder ensemble amazed the crowd with their brilliant performances. All profits raised from the event will go towards a new scholarship that is being set up to support Fort Street students to continue singing after school, as part of Harmoni Choirs.
