About the Chorus
Founded in 2002, Brisbane City Sounds Chorus is a women’s ensemble specialising in four-part unaccompanied harmony. The group currently has 23 members who rehearse weekly at the Lavalla Centre and travel from suburbs including Redcliffe, MacDowall, and Camp Hill. Under the direction of Glen Windle, rehearsals include vocal exercises and singing challenges to develop vocal quality.
Repertoire and Performances
The chorus performs a range of contemporary pop, musical theatre pieces, Australian classics, and traditional and modern Christmas songs. Performances take place throughout the year at community festivals, concerts, citizenship ceremonies, Christmas events, and private functions. Past appearances include Brisbane City Hall charity events, a Mother’s Day High Tea, and visits to respite centres and Memory Lane Cafes.
Membership and Opportunities
Membership is open to anyone who identifies as a woman and requires a successful audition and monthly membership fee. The group is currently seeking singers for melody lines and lower vocal ranges, though all voice types are welcome. As a member of Sweet Adelines International, the chorus provides access to resources, coaching, and networking with choruses across Australia and overseas.
