Creative programs that transform lives
Ashburton (VIC)
It’s time to shine!
With One Voice Ashburton is a choir that celebrates the joy of music, community, fun and friendship. Every voice and story is welcome, from seasoned singers to people who have never sung before. In addition to our weekly rehearsals we also regularly sing at all kinds of community events. No auditions or previous musical experience required — we encourage you to simply come along and have a go, and be swept up by the power of singing together!
No matter what age you are or what language you speak, singing offers opportunities to learn, grow, and express who you are.
Singing is human nature, yet so often we confine ourselves to only singing in the shower or car. With One Voice choirs provide an opportunity for everyone to share in the joy of song, improving our wellbeing, happiness and sense of community.
Join now! No singing experience necessary, everyone is welcome.

WOV Ashburton 2020/21
The Ashburton Choir kept going like many others, during the strange and challenging year of
lockdowns and isolation. They were lucky enough to have their choir sessions on YouTube to
keep connected. A big thank you to Kym for all her hard work each week putting it all together
and working hard to keep us entertained. This was a big part of the choir remaining engaged.
Every member of the Ashburton choir is more than grateful to Kym for all that she did.
Thanks must also go to the staff at Creativity Australia for creating a livestream through
Facebook that most members could access. It was another wonderful way to keep everyone
singing. It also gave many people something to look forward to each night.
As the situation with the lockdown eased, we were finally able to finish out the year by singing
carols and other favourite songs in the park. It was wonderful to see familiar faces again and
sing together, even while socially distanced and masked. Even through the masks, it was easy
to see the big smiles on members’ faces!
