Are you new to Melbourne?

“I am alone. I have no family in Australia. Believe me, this choir means so much to me. This choir is next to God for me. It has brought so much joy into my life.” Rosie, Melbourne Sings

Many of our new members are not only new to choir, but new to Melbourne. They not only have new names and faces to remember, but also have the added task of getting to know a whole new city and country.

Whatever your background, Melbourne and the With One Voice choirs are happy to have you. Explore our website, contact us, or speak to your fellow members to learn more about this wonderful city.

If you’re feeling lonely or bored, why not check out Meetup.com? Whatever your interests – from music to cards or parmigiana-appreciation – there’s a Meetup group where you can connect with like-minded people! Lots of people find the With One Voice choirs through this fantastic, free website.
