Sounds of the Season is back, but you will need to be quick getting your tickets.

Following the enormous, sell out success of the 2025 concert, Sounds of the Season is Back on Saturday 28 November 2026, commencing at 7.30 pm at the Quirindi Uniting Church.

Tickets go on sale on Monday 19 October, at Quirindi Mitre 10 at a cost of $25.00 per head, including supper.  There are only 150 tickets available and as the concert was a sell out last year, it will be the Early Bird that gets the Worm (Ticket) this year.

If you are unable to get to Quirindi Mitre 10, tickets are also available by contacting Robert Lewis on 0447627695.

Step into the warm glow of candlelight this festive season and experience the magic of Christmas through the timeless beauty of classical music, set within the enchanting surroundings of Quirindi Uniting Church.  Brought to the Liverpool Plains Community by Quirindi Rotary and Pursehouse Rural.

Celebrate the season with the acclaimed Tamworth Conservatorium Chamber Singers and Chamber Ensemble, Soloists and our own Quirindi High School Choir, this special Christmas concert promises an evening of elegance, inspiration, and festive charm.

At the heart of the programme are selected movements from Messiah by George Frideric Handel, framed by unaccompanied choruses, early motets, and solo arias. Simple congregational carols are woven into the programme as moments of audience participation.

Join us and our compere Kristy Reading, ABC New England North West Breakfast presenter, for a heart-warming musical celebration that captures the spirit of the season!

A huge thank you to Pursehouse Rural for their generous sponsorship towards Quirindi’s “Sounds of the Season”.
