For the love of singing

24 Sep 2025

Earlier this year, the Chatsworth-Carindale Probus Club launched something new - the Men’s Chorale.

What began as an idea to bring together members with a love of singing quickly developed into a lively group brimming with enthusiasm and friendship.

After months of rehearsals, the Chorale made their debut at the Clubs Christmas in July luncheon. Their performance was a highlight of the day, filling the room with festive spirit and earning smiles, applause, and a standing ovation. They followed this up with another well-received performance at their December Christmas celebration, proving that their talent and energy can light up any occasion.

Buoyed by their success, the Chorale is now preparing for community performances at aged care facilities, community centres, and local events. These appearances will not only entertain but also raise awareness of Probus and the fun and friendship it offers. By stepping into the community, the Chorale shows that Probus is about far more than monthly meetings - it’s about connection, creativity, and contribution.

The benefits go both ways. For audiences, the music uplifts and brings people together. For the singers, rehearsals boost mood, sharpen memory, improve wellbeing, and strengthen friendships. As one member put it: “It’s not just about the singing — it’s the mateship and joy we share.”

The Chatsworth–Carindale Probus Men’s Chorale is living proof that trying something new can create lasting connections, enrich lives, and showcase the Probus spirit in perfect harmony.
