Rainbow Voices is a new community choir that is open to anyone who loves to sing.  The focus is on celebrating diversity, having fun and making new friends whilst creating beautiful harmonies.It’s a multicultural choir – and sing traditional songs from around the world. They especially want to honour the cultural groups represented in the choir, so members are encouraged to bring in songs from their cultures for the choir to sing.  The emphasis is on celebrating diversity, having fun and making new friends
and have been in operation since March and are going very well.  They would love some more members now to come and share the joy.  There are no auditions, and no choir experience is required.
They have already been invited to sing at a multicultural event here on the Sunshine Coast. There will be plenty of opportunities to perform in the future.
No matter what your country of origin, we’d love to have you join us!

Andrew started singing as a boy in the local church choir, and then won a scholarship to sing in Christ Church Cathedral Choir, Oxford.[UK] He sung there till the age of 13.
He started directing A Cappella Choirs [voice only] in 1996 in the Byron Bay area, and moved to the Noosa area at the end of 2005.
He directs four A Cappella choirs, three popular and one classical.
Andrew has made over 200 A Cappella arrangements of popular songs. Most in four part harmony, some with solo parts also.
He also arranges some of the music for the classical choir.
Singing in a choir requires commitment and practice, but the benefits are: Lots of fun, meeting new people, keeping your brain going!, physically good for you, spiritual awareness, and more!
All of the music in the choirs which Andrew directs is available as computer files to help singers learn their parts.
