Home Hill Choral Society 2025

A Year of Music and Community

The Home Hill Choral Society enjoyed a vibrant and successful 2025, strengthening its role as a key contributor to the region’s cultural life. The year was marked by a busy performance schedule, competition appearances, and community engagement that brought music to audiences across the Burdekin.

One of the highlights came in May, when the choir competed at the North Queensland Eisteddfod in Townsville. In the Small Choir category, the 14-member ensemble performed a varied selection including sacred works and lighter pieces, achieving strong recognition and showcasing the group’s versatility and dedication. The event underscored the choir’s commitment to excellence and its ability to represent Home Hill on a regional stage.

Throughout the year, the Society maintained a full calendar of performances, including regular shows and special community events. Theatre-restaurant productions remained popular, while lighter choral pieces and themed skits added variety to the program. The group also contributed to local cultural events, performing alongside visiting artists and participating in community celebrations that highlighted local talent and brought the joy of live music to diverse audiences.

The festive season offered a unique opportunity for the choir to engage with the wider public, performing Christmas carols in shopping centres and other public spaces. These performances emphasized the group’s focus on outreach, celebrating the holiday season while creating an inclusive and welcoming atmosphere for residents and visitors alike.

As the Home Hill Choral Society looks ahead to 2026, plans are already underway for new productions and continued involvement in regional competitions and community events. The year concluded as a testament to the choir’s enduring presence in Home Hill, its dedication to music, and its commitment to bringing the community together through performance.
