For centuries, song has played a key role in community, culture and story-telling worldwide. Yet how many people dare to sing freely these days... apart from in the shower? Community singing empowers voices that have been silenced, unleashes creative potential... and that's just the start. Please like, share and comment on our videos to celebrate the joy of song! WHAT WE DO Every week, Creativity Australia's With One Voice choirs inspire people from more than 40 nationalities, aged 9 to 90, to sing Side-by-Side. Age, race, language, religion, disability and disadvantage fade away. Everyone is welcome. WHY WE DO IT For some, choir is a way to de-stress after work. For others, it's a first glimpse into Australian life after arriving here as a migrant, asylum seeker or refugee. For others, it's an opportunity to connect to networks, skills and employment. It's all about joy, freedom and inspiration. When diverse voices sing together, peopl...    less

Vibrant is the lilac tree, My beloved is a partisan 3. On the other Side of the Morave (river in Croatia) a girl is reading the newspaper This outdoor performance was the culmination of a six-week project which creates a choir from scratch for one night only. Each winter and summer, Chris Rowbury gathers a random bunch of singers from in and around Ipswich. There are no auditions and all songs are taught and learnt by ear. Usually eight songs are learnt in six two-hour sessions and in the summer are performed outdoors near Ipswich. http://chrisrowbury.com  less

Along Side intensive voice training, drama instruction, theory and sight reading in several smaller ensembles for several age categories, the choir produces 6 sold out concerts per year. Their most recent ambitions include producing a Symphony and Singing in the City concert with professional orchestral musicians mentoring local professional and semiprofessional performers from Grande Prairie.
