Special concert to celebrate choir’s 25 years

From the Maitland Mercury report:
The voices of Maitland City Choir members have been entertaining the community for the past 25 years and will hold a special concert next month to celebrate the milestone.

The choir formed in 1987 when the choir at Maitland Grossmann High and Maitland Boys High schools were amalgamated and membership was opened to the public to mark the city’s bicentennial.
Founding member Heather Russell-McLaren said she approached the mayor of Maitland, Cr Peter Blackmore in the lead-up to the event and asked if the choir could be named Maitland City Choir.
