back to Ecopella's home page

Ecopella is an environmental choir that sings about the beauty of our world and the struggle to protect it from exploitation and destruction. We serve the environment movement by providing activists and audiences with the opportunity of enjoying a high standard of a cappella singing. Our music's strong environmental message encourages positive change in people's thoughts and actions and offers encouragement to a wide variety of green organisations.

We originated in Sydney in 1998 and now have branches in the Blue Mountains, Illawarra, and Canberra as well. We've sung at a wide range of events, including benefit concerts, protests, campaign launches, community gatherings and folk festivals.

We are always looking for new members and opportunities to perform. Although we accept payment we often donate or discount our services to unfunded community organisations. Our fee for a performance is otherwise around $1,500. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you would like either to sing with us or to invite us to perform.
