SING WITH US! TEMPORARILY?….
We're looking for tuneful voices whose owners are willing to attend eight rehearsals [perhaps even fewer] beginning in early February, and then to perform with us at whichever concerts they can attend. The songs will be chosen from among the easiest ones in our repertoire.
We hope this one-off project will interest singers who like “causing harmony to the environment,” but doubt they can commit to ongoing regular rehearsals.
The cost will be the same as for regular choir members - please click the Join button above for full details.

Ecopella is an environmental choir that sings about the beauty of our world and the struggle to protect it from exploitation and degradation. The choir "causes harmony to the environment" by providing activists and audiences with topical a cappella singing at a high standard. Our strong environmental message encourages positive change in people's thoughts and actions, and we offer support to a wide variety of green organisations. Founded in 1998 by musical director Miguel Heatwole, Ecopella spread from its base in Sydney to form branches in the Blue Mountains, Illawarra, Southern Highlands, Canberra, the Central Coast and Newcastle. We have 869 performances to our credit, embracing a wide range of events: benefit concerts, protests, campaign launches, community gatherings and folk festivals. You might expect a choir that sings about the environment to be a gloomy ensemble, but Ecopella's sense of fun fills each performance with positive and satirical messages. Even when the mood becomes serious the beauty and solemnity of the music is uplifting. Many of the pieces are original compositions and most of the arrangements are ours also. Stylistically our influences include folk, classical, and popular songs. The choir welcomes new members and opportunities to perform. Although we accept payment, we often donate or discount our services to unfunded community organisations. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you would like to sing with us, or us to sing for you! |
