Sing On will develop across the year over 3 ‘rounds’ of rehearsals. Each round will have its own Vocal Leader and a performance outcome and culminate in a concert at the Empire Theatre in October in association with the Toowoomba Philharmonic Society, featuring elements from all three rounds. Participants can sign up for just one round, two, or all three!

Round one has been successfully completed but you can still sign up for rounds 2 and three!
