About Sydney Street Choir

Sydney Street Choir is a not-for-profit, registered charity, which functions as a supportive musical community, under the guidance of a skilled Choir Director and managed by a Board/Management Committee of volunteers, where people can expect to

• meet together, specifically to sing as a Choir,

and to

• create, prepare and perform musical items and creative theatre productions for their own pleasure and to entertain and engage with the general public

Its Mission Statement is 'to connect with, inspire and empower those who are living or working in homeless or disadvantaged communities through creating music, performance and passionate expression that truly opens people's hearts and encourages engagement with the community'

Created in 2001 by Choir Director, Jonathan Welch OAM, the Choir continues its life-changing work under the creative direction of James Paul, Choir Director & Board Member.  To date the Choir has recorded and released two CD's, staged two major Theatre Productions at the Belvoir and Pact Theatres, as well as performing in concerts and festivals for audiences all over Australia.

The Choir engages the general public in regular fund-raising activities and ventures, where all monies raised helps to fund specific choir related activities.  They will release a third CD at their November Concert.

In October 2011 the Choir celebrates ten years of music making, and changing lives through the power of song.
