Want to do something for yourself and something for the community? Then why not join With One Voice Choir in Mackay and surrounds.
Performing out in the Mackay community, the choir is aimed at providing pleasure and enjoyment, working with local disability groups, singing at retirement homes and respite centres, as well as preparing and performing its own concerts.
Choir Director Jennifer Bee said that the most common obstacle to people joining the choir is their false belief that they cannot sing.
“Fundamental to the With One Voice Choir is our strong conviction that every person can sing!” Jennifer said.
“We provide acceptance, encouragement and support for those people who lack confidence and help them find their voice.”
“One of the most satisfying parts of our weekly rehearsals is how people feel welcome knowing that we are all there to do the best we can, as part of a group, which loves to sing and wants to support our community.
The next concert is planned for the day before Mother’s Day, Saturday May 7th at the Sporting Wheelies Hall in Bridge Road East Mackay.
“The High Tea and concert will be an opportunity for families to celebrate with Mothers and Grandmothers,” Jennifer said.
Jennifer Bee also pointed to research that has now found the act of singing aloud is beneficial to our health.
“Study after study has found that singing relieves anxiety and contributes to the quality of life.”
“No matter what age you are or what your abilities are, singing offers opportunities to learn, grow and express who you are.”
With One Voice Mackay meets and rehearses every Thursday evening at 6.30 pm at the CQU University City Campus Building 2 Theatre 90-92 Sydney Street Mackay.
Potential new members are very welcome, so feel free to come along and give the Choir a try without obligation.

With One Voice Mackay is an excellent way to socialise and also to sing with a group of likeminded – and like-voiced - people
