About the choir
Jambouree Cabaret Singers and Jambouree Juniors under the direction of Edna Auld in St Leonard’s-in-the-Fields, Perth – performing at their Annual Christmas Concert.
The Jambouree Choir delivered a sparkling festive performance with their Christmas concert, Yuletide Harmony, filling St Leonard’s-in-the-Fields with the warmth and joy of the season.
The evening began with a heavenly rendition of Once in Royal David’s City, led by the angelic voices of Alia and Anastasia. As the Jambouree Juniors entered in a magical candlelit procession, the church was bathed in light, setting a serene and festive tone.
Alan Laing expertly introduced the evening’s varied repertoire, which showcased the choir’s versatility and talent. Highlights included the brass ensemble—Eleanor, Ali, Teenah, Alex, Anastasia, and Ali—whose spirited playing added a vibrant touch to the evening.
The choir’s dynamic range was on full display, from the reverent beauty of O Holy Night to the playful charm of Santa Baby. Iona, Shannon, Teenah, David and Bill stepped forward in their turns to the delight the packed church. Junior soloists Evelina, Alex, and Anastasia were particular standouts, their voices a joy to hear and a testament to the choir’s bright future.
The concert concluded with the Christmas Jambouree, a jubilant medley of carols that left the audience humming their favorite tunes long after the applause faded.
The choir’s sponsor, Mrs Frances Farr, was among the audience. This is a choir that truly embodies the spirit of giving, bringing joy and festive cheer to all. Yuletide Harmony was a triumph and a perfect celebration of the season.
