A community choir in Wyndham is searching for new members.
The members of One Voice Wyndham, who meet at Wayaperri House in Werribee each Tuesday from 7-8pm, place just as much emphasis on social connection as they do on singing.
The choir, led by conductor Steph Payne, has no auditions and is inviting anyone interested in joining its ranks to take part in two free sessions when it resumes on July 22 for term three.
One Voice Wyndham member Cass Hill joined the choir after the Covid lockdowns.
“Being in the choir has had a significant beneficial impact on not only my physical, but especially my mental health and wellbeing,” she said.
“Following the Covid pandemic, I was looking to join a choir as I love to sing; and I also thought it would be a fantastic way to reconnect with my community.
“I live alone and had spent the best part of the past couple of years in total isolation.”
During the lockdowns, Ms Hill followed One Voice’s Facebook livestream. Each night a different choir conductor would perform to camera for about one hour. When she found out a One Voice choir had been set up in Wyndham she made inquires and attended her first rehearsal.
“I have had the opportunity to attend and perform at events I would never otherwise have the opportunity or awareness to attend,” Ms Hill said.
