8 things to do: Sunbury/Macedon Ranges

Men in chorus

A choir made up of men armed with their voices, a collection of hats and magnificent facial hair will wow crowds as part of Kyneton Town Hall’s April program. The Spooky Men’s Chorale has received rave reviews for live shows that blend comedy, harmonies and a cheeky dollop of fun. Macedon Ranges choir The Polyphonics will support the chorale from 7.30pm this Friday.
