The first performance will be held at the Nanango Uniting Chuch at 44 Gipps Street, Nanango from 2:00pm to 3:30pm; and the second at St Mary's Catholic Church at 15 Albert Street in Kingaroy from 6:00pm to 7:30pm (bring along a plate of food to the evening concert for a shared community supper - all proceeds of the concert will go to the parish). These terrific concerts feature many of our region's very best singers providing stirring and heart-warming family entertainment that the Chorale's members have practiced and sweated over for months - and they do it all for local charities. Each concert lasts for around 75 minutes and admission is just $8 for adults (which includes afternoon tea or a light supper, depending on which concert you go to) while children under 12 are admitted free. If you've never been to a South Burnett Chorale Christmas Concert before (or have always promised yourself that you would), then make this year the year you start Christmas the right way by enjoying the magic only a live performance can provide.
