Tides of Welcome meet every Thursday night during school terms from 7:30pm to 9pm at Kirks Place in Point Lonsdale.
Based in the Borough of Queenscliffe, Tides of Welcome began in 2003 and was originally led by Sarah Carroll. Since then the “Tiders” have had enormous success and are currently under the direction of Nadine Joy. Tides of Welcome operates under the umbrella of the Queenscliff Uniting Church and usually rehearse at their premises at Kirk’s Place in Point Lonsdale. We perform at various events ranging from community events, performances at the Uniting Church and the Queenscliff Music Festival through to wedding proposals and festivals such as the “Mouth to Mountain” and “Tranquility at Twilight”.
The choir comprises locals from the Bellarine Peninsula in Victoria, who enjoy the experience of singing together and creating soulful harmonies under the direction of their dedicated leaders.
