Hampton Park-based Melbourne Youth Chorale held its first-ever WinterFest concert on Wednesday 2 July, bringing joyful harmonies and heartfelt performances.
“We had a number of families there. We had a nice vibe. We had decorations up around the place,” the choir’s executive manager Kerry Alexander said.
“It was festive and fun. We had food for sale. We had a little mini market. We raised nearly $800.
“This was the first time we’ve done it. In March, we normally run an international food festival for Harmony Week, which is really nice. People just bring food that relates to their culture. It’s a nice fundraiser, and kids perform.
“We just thought we’d try something like it again.”
Ms Alexander said the best moment that stood out in her mind was when all the little kids, the Poco Choir, performed for the first time.
