Choirs to jam together

The sound of singing will reverberate through the western suburbs on Saturday, August 30, when the annual Choir Jam takes place at the Laverton Community Centre.

Featuring local choirs, With One Voice Hobsons Bay and Wyndham, the Laverton Community Choir, Newport Community Choir and Willin Wimmin, Choir Jam will also feature a mystery guest choir as well as members of the public who want to join in and exercise their vocal chords on the day.

Member of With One Voice Hobsons Bay, Brenda Alexander, explained the third annual event would work.

“We’re going to work together to learn a song together to sing and then we’re going to take turns to perform for each other and the community,” Ms Alexander said.

As for what type of songs they’d be singing, Ms Alexander said that was still to be determined, but that there would be tunes the audience would know and be able to sing along with.

“There’ll be a variety of songs, but mostly upbeat, popular songs. Songs that people will be familiar with,” she said.

Those who are not a member of any of the participating choirs but who still want to have a go, are welcome to do so, with all experience levels, vocal ranges, abilities, cultures and genders able to participate.

There is also room for extra choirs to come and join in the showcase concert section of the program.

Entry for audience members is free, but bookings are recommended.
