About the TCS Choir


TCS Choir is the original adult choir of the Toowoomba Choral Society, performing a wide variety of repertoire at Eisteddfodau and concerts, such as the Anzac Day themed "Poppies" concerts. The TCS Choir often enjoys the chance to collaborate with other local performance groups to present large works including as Handel’s “The Messiah”, Rutter’s “Requiem” and Sir Karl Jenkins “The Armed Man: A Mass for Peace”.

We welcome new members over 16 years and over and the first two rehearsals can be used as a free trial before membership fees are required.
 

Rehearsals:

The group rehearses on Wednesday nights from 7pm-9pm at Choral Hall during school terms. Some rehearsals involve supper, offering a chance to socialise with other members.
