With One Voice Stonnington will be an inclusive community choir uniting diverse people aged 9 to 90, from all faiths and all walks of life: migrants, people with disabilities, jobseekers, executives, seniors, students and more.
The choir will be led by a professional conductor and meet weekly, followed by supper. Through the Wish List, participants will grant one another wishes big and small: such as free music lessons, language and computer tuition, assistance with resumes, mentors and finding jobs. The choirs help people connect to whatever they need in life: friends, mentors, wellbeing, self-esteem, networks, skills! Be inspired: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9E_rLYps57o&feature=youtu.be

Loneliness and depression are global epidemics of our era. The With One Voice program builds a happier, healthier, more inclusive community through bridging the gap between people experiencing disadvantage and those more fortunate using the incredible neuro-scientific benefits of community singing. We will build supportive networks that help people connect to brighter futures.
Swinburne University research http://www.creativityaustralia.org.au/research/program-evaluation/ showed 98% of With One Voice choir participants experienced less stress, 91% improved social bonds and 66% feel less depressed. Regular performances boost confidence and create strong connections to the local community. Together we can change our community...one voice at a time.
