Cairns Junior Choral Society

Cairns Junior Choral Society "Fostering, from an early age, the love and appreciation of Music"

The Society is open to children aged 8 to 18 years. The rest, as they say is history.

In the early 1950’s, a local school teacher with a love of music decided he would like to form a Junior Choir in Cairns and give the youth of Cairns and District the chance to make beautiful music together. The teacher – Mr Jack Daniel, along with a group of like-minded citizens of Cairns, got together and approached the then Cairns City Council for their blessing and support which they received,

and the Cairns Juvenile Choir was formed. After working very hard each year for the next few years raising funds to be able to send the choir off to compete in a number of Eisteddfodau throughout Queensland - Charters Towers, Townsville, Rockhampton and Brisbane to name but a few, this same committee decided it would be much cheaper, not to mention more beneficial to all the youth of Cairns and District to run a Junior Eisteddfod in Cairns. Once again this same committee approached the Cairns City Council with this idea and The Cairns Juvenile Eisteddfod was formed. Both organisations changed their names in the early 1060’s to “The Cairns Junior Choral Society” and “The Cairns and District Junior Eisteddfod”. The Cairns Junior Choral Society Inc. (run entirely by volunteers – with Conductor and Accompanist both professionals in their own rights) has been running successfully ever since. The choir competes in two, sometimes three, eisteddfodau each year, along with other “sing-outs” if and when required – There are also Theory/Musicianship classes offered. A few years ago, the Society commenced producing a musical each year, all singing, dancing and acting performed by the members within the Society. Some of the fun musicals we have done are “Listen to the Lambs” – “Phantom of the Music Room” – A Trip through Storyland” – “Oh Rats!” – “Jungle Fantasy” to name a few.
