Born To Sing and Sing From The Heart will perform at the Macnuts Farm in Baldivis on Fri17 and Sat 18 Dec.  Seats are limited to 100 – tickets will be sold on a first come-first served basis.  Don’t miss out.  Sat is already sold out!   We are having a social BYO picnic on the lawns beforehand.  We have lots of new members and it will be great to have the time to share a meal together and get to know each other better.  Oh, and by the way…..our  new acapella repetoire is simply moving….mmmmm…..goosebumpy!  

One of our new songs is Amazing Grace – -Listen to one of our rehearsals! 

And you might recognise one our warm-ups…Brother James Air  We are not a religious based choir and our repetoire includes a range of popular songs, such as Breaking Up Is Hard To Do, 8 Days A Week and Lean On Me as well as some multi-cultural offerings like the Noongar Welcome song and Nkosi Sikele.

Some of our singers do not read music and have only been singing a few weeks. 

Our philosophy is …’If you can speak, you can sing’….and we welcome everyone.  No auditions! 

There are bound to be some songs we do that will have your foot tapping…or even singing with us.  You may discover you too are Born To Sing!

Living The Vision - Make A Difference!

Born To Sing were invited to sing at Fremantle Town Hall for Homeless People’s Week.  We were moved by their plight, realising that in this day and age homelessness can strike all sectors of our community through a change in personal circumstances, such a job loss or some disaster.  A newly designed swag, made in South Australia would at least provide shelter, warmth and a place to keep one’s possessions.  The generosity of Born To Sing raised $1,275.  This will provide 18 swags…warming the cockles of some hearts at least this winter.

Music has such a powerful impact upon people – here is a fantastic video showing how service recipients at ACTIV Foundation are communicating their love of music.

What A Wonderful World, indeed.
