Wine, Cheese, and High Notes – What More Could You Want?

August marked the very first gathering of our Old Girls Union Choir, with 19 enthusiastic alumnae coming together to sing, laugh, and reconnect. We were fortunate to be led by Old Girl and current teacher, Alice Chance (2011), who brought her warmth and expertise to the evening. The group shared a joyful mix of voices and talents – from those still working out the difference between alto and tenor, to others whose powerful voices nearly lifted the roof. The repertoire was equally eclectic, featuring the likes of U2 and Adele, ensuring there was something for everyone to enjoy.

To help loosen the vocal cords, the evening began with wine and cheese before moving into spirited rehearsal. The atmosphere was one of fun, friendship, and music-making, with plenty of laughter along the way. The Choir will continue to meet monthly, with upcoming rehearsals scheduled for Wednesday 17 September, Wednesday 15 October, and Wednesday 19 November, held at the Music Centre from 6pm. Whether you are a seasoned singer or someone who simply loves to join in, we warmly welcome you to come along and add your voice to the MLC School Old Girls Union Choir.

The Old Girls Union meets formally once a term, our next general meeting in Term 4 is Wednesday 5 November 2025.
