Escape the daily grind with Choir 3006, a welcoming community choir open to everyone living, working, playing, or learning in Southbank. Led by the dynamic choral conductor Renee Heron, these sessions offer a joyful social sing that requires no prior music training or experience. It’s a perfect midweek break to refresh your spirit and connect with others.
Each Wednesday during school terms, participants gather for a relaxed and inclusive singing experience. Whether you’re a seasoned singer or a complete beginner, the choir encourages all voices to join in a supportive environment.
The sessions are casual drop-ins, making it easy to fit into busy schedules. You’ll find yourself uplifted by the camaraderie and the simple joy of singing together.
