'It has helped me in my healing process.' Judy, choir member

'I was looking for peace elsewhere, I couldn’t find it. Once I joined this choir I have peace of mind.' Sarojini, choir member

'I didn’t know it was here. It’s cost me virtually nothing, and yet it’s given me a new dimension in my life completely – as it has the rest of us. You can’t buy that.' Gerard, lawyer

'They stand up for you when you’re in trouble, they can help you. Or when you need to apply for a job.' Sarah, former Sudanese refugee

"I am writing to personally thank Greater Dandenong Sings for supporting my Mayoral Charity Dinner, held on 23 October at the Springvale Town Hall.

The evening was enjoyed by over 450 guests and the Greater Dandenong Sings Choir certainly played a significant role in the evening's entertainment. I would appreciate if you could please pass on my heartfelt thanks to all the members of the choir that sang and thank them also for their willingness to share their stories with us." - Cr Jim Memeti, Mayor, City of Greater Dandenong

'Dandenong Sings were a joy to hear when they performed for the Annual Gathering of the Interfaith Network at The Drum Theatre in Dandenong. Their delight in singing together was also expressed in the way they told their stories of why they sing together. Well done Dandenong Sings - thank you!" - Interfaith Network, City of Greater Dandenong (Performance pictured below)

Voices that strengthen

We come as many we sing as one - bridging gaps breaking down walls
Leaving cloaks and masks at the door
Joining as a family community of old - sharing caring supporting each other
Singing heals souls and touches lives - brings out creativity and productivity in us all
Builds confidence to stand up and reach out - for more goals for sure
We Shine
Singing together joins us as one voice one city choir

- by Sharon King Harris, member of Dandenong Sings
