"CELEBRATION SING OUT” Sings Out in 2020
A message for us all
This virtual choir and orchestra performance will be a celebration of music’s power to heal through singing and playing together. While nothing can replace the sense of unity, belonging and wellbeing we experience when we sing and play together in the same space, we hope this performance comes close, and will give you an uplifting and memorable experience.
We are also aiming to maintain the funding for the Music Therapy program at The Children’s Hospital at Westmead, continuing to bring recovery and wellbeing to so many very sick children, every year.

FIRST
Decide if you want to sing, play, or do both (together, or separately). Think of how you want to present your performance. Be creative! The big piece is the choral section from Beethoven Symphony No. 9 (Ode to Joy). You can choose which sections and how you want to perform. Click here for a Flashmob performance inspiration It's Famous! The tune is famous and easy to sing or play. You may simply join in the melody or strum the chords, for example. Choral singers and orchestral players can sing Soprano, Alto, Tenor or Bass or play their part from the Beethoven Orchestral Score. Have Fun! Above all, participate for the joy and be part of a super exciting event that will also raise money for Music Therapy! Other Important Stuff
