In a time when genuine human connection is more essential than ever, Soul Song Choirs are striking a powerful chord—blending music with community spirit in a way that’s anything but traditional.
Expanding across Queensland, New South Wales, South Australia, and online, Soul Song offers ‘choir, but not as you know it.’ They're redefining what it means to sing in a group with no auditions, a fresh repertoire of pop, soul, and gospel, and fun, relaxed rehearsals. The focus is on joy, freedom, and connection—not perfection.
Last month, their musical family grew again with the launch of two new choirs in Newcastle and the Hunter Valley. These groups are already flourishing, offering a space for locals to sing, connect, and even unwind over a post-rehearsal drink. Whether in the rehearsal room or socialising afterwards, members are quickly finding not only their voice, but their people.
What makes Soul Song unique is its inclusive approach. People from all walks of life—teachers, tradies, students, retirees—are welcome, regardless of experience or musical ability. All ages, cultures, religions and sexualities will find a safe place in the choir. Many members who have never sung previously or were told they ‘couldn’t sing’ have started rediscovering their voice in a supportive, energising environment. New singers are always welcome, and the first session is free. Everything needed is provided, making it easy to jump in and sing from day one.
Beyond weekly rehearsals, Soul Song Choirs are a launching pad for unforgettable experiences. From performing at the Adelaide Fringe to singing at Hobart’s Festival of Voices or even touring the UK, the opportunities are as exciting as they are inclusive. Their open, flexible, and community-first model lets members be part of something bigger while still staying local. The Newcastle and Hunter Valley choirs are not just about singing—they’re about belonging. As Soul Song continues to grow, it proves that music can build bridges, spark joy, and unite strangers in harmony.
