Christmas on ABC Classic | Ukraine Children's Choir sings Carol of the Bells
| | | | Singers from around Australia and the world have come together in our virtual choir to perform a new Australian Christmas Carol arrangement of Oh Christmas Tree with words by Clarence Slockee. This new take on the old favourite celebrates the coming together and gathering of family and friends during the summer holidays in Australia.
The first Classic Choir since the easing of social distancing restrictions, 2022 saw more people able to come together and sing in groups with family, friends, choirs, and even gardening groups.
Here's what you had to say:
“...we hope that our tiny students singing in Language might inspire others to learn the Language of their country.”- Kerrie Gambley, Tamborine Mountain State School Choir Director
"So often we sing carols that are about snow and winter, so it was great to have such a beautiful and deeply 'Aussie' theme through this carol, highlighting the bright and bountiful summer Christmas season!"
- Joshua Clifford, Hillbrook Chorale Director
“Coming together to sing this carol was a celebration of inclusivity...Singing in the Classic Choir meant a lot to our members.”
- Zara Thompson, Rewire Musical Memories Choir coordinator | | |
