Sing Australia️ 2 weeks ago

From beautiful autumn afternoons to community celebrations and special performances, our Sing Australia groups have been busy sharing the joy of singing across the country. Sing Australia Batemans Bay enjoyed a wonderful day performing at the Eurobodalla Botanic Gardens, with sunshine, clear skies and a beautiful setting creating the perfect backdrop for an afternoon of song. Sing Australia Burnside welcomed members from Sing Australia Goolwa to their weekly rehearsal and light lunch, bringing together 93 singers for a memorable day of friendship and music. The following week, Sing Australia Goolwa returned the favour, hosting members from Sing Australia Burnside for an afternoon of singing, connection and community. Sing Australia Toowoomba celebrated Easter with a festive evening of music, hot cross buns, chocolate eggs and even a few early-arriving Easter bunnies. Sing Australia Wollongong was proud to perform at a recent Citizenship Ceremony, helping welcome new Australians as they celebrated this important milestone. Members from Sing Australia Glenelg and Sing Australia Warradale joined forces at the Marion Retirement Living & Senior Lifestyle Expo, performing uplifting songs for more than 200 attendees and generating strong interest from potential new members. Thank you to all our singers who continue to share music, friendship and community wherever they go.

Sutherland: Sing Australia Sutherland were honoured to launch their 2026 gig season by performing the Australian and New Zealand national anthems at the 2026 Trans-Tasman Surf Boat Championships held on Wanda Beach.

Our Sing Australia groups have had a wonderful start to the year, with performances, community events and plenty of special moments already filling February 🎶 Kiama: What was meant to be a simple performance at the Gerringong Community Expo quickly became a very memorable day for Sing Australia Kiama! The group was surprised to discover former New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern attending the event while visiting local members Ray and Annette. Not only did she stay for the performance, she joined the group in singing the New Zealand National Anthem in both Māori and English. What began as a short set soon turned into a joyful community celebration filled with extra songs, smiling faces and wonderful energy. It was a beautiful reminder of the power of music to bring people together. Canberra: Sing Australia Canberra were honoured to once again sing at the Australian Bravery Association Memorial Service held in the Bravery Garden at Government House, Canberra. A group of 30 singers performed at the moving service alongside a brass quintet from the Duntroon Military Band and accompanist Linus Lee, under the direction of conductor Tim Bevitt. Glenelg: A combined group of nearly 30 singers from Sing Australia Glenelg and Warradale enjoyed a wonderful singalong at Alwyndor Nursing Home. With plenty of enthusiastic audience participation, laughter and music throughout the performance, everyone had a fantastic time together. Wollongong: Sing Australia Wollongong had a fantastic first night back, welcoming 7 new people along to the group! Fingers crossed we see them back again soon for plenty more singing, friendship and fun. Thank you to all of our groups for continuing to share your wonderful community moments with us.
