The project returns this weekend for the fourth consecutive year as part of the Joondalup Festival, with the 200-strong choir performing A Hard Day’s Night featuring classics from The Beatles.
Made up of singers of all ages and abilities, the choir – led by musical director Jangoo Chapkhana – has been preparing for the past two months.
“Their singing is full of energy, full of enthusiasm and we’ve reached a stage where there is a lot of detail in the singing,” Mr Chapkhana said.

With his background in jazz, Mr Chapkhana said he had deliberately selected an upbeat program.
“We have put in a couple of the slow ballads The Beatles were famous for, but it’s predominantly a toe-tapping program and with such a brilliant four-piece band it would be ridiculous not to be,” he said.
“Anyone coming to the show on Sunday can expect a lively, energetic, punchy hour of the greatest of The Beatles and it’s going to have a strong jazz feel to it.”
This is the second year Mr Chapkhana has led the Community Choral project after heading up the West End Wonder performance last year.
– A Hard Day’s Night, Sunday at 3.45pm and 6pm in the Commonwealth Cube at Central Park.
