PERFORMANCE EXCELLENCE THROUGH PASSION,
COMMITMENT & COMMUNITY
Join an Oriana Choir
Becoming a member of the senior Oriana Choir
New members are always welcome! Joining the Oriana Choir means receiving great vocal tuition each week that improves diction, phrasing, breathing and performance skills. Not to mention you will make lifelong friends, enjoy participating in the creation of amazing music and experience the joy and camaraderie that comes with belonging to such an incredible group of like-minded people.
Being able to read music and previous choral experience are an advantage but not essential.
If you are considering joining Oriana, please complete the Audition Application Form and further information will be provided to you by the Membership Co-ordinator (membership@oriana.org.au)
If successful in your audition you will be invited to become a financial member. Financial membership means you are covered by our insurance for rehearsals and performances.
If you have any questions, please email us at membership@oriana.org.au
Becoming a young adult member of the Oriana Choir
We have instigated a programme to encourage young adults to join our senior choir. This is open to people from 17 to 25 years of age. Previous experience in singing in a choir will definitely give you an advantage, but we welcome people with nothing more than a passion for singing to join us too. Being able to read music is an advantage but not essential. Just as for the older members who join, you will receive great tuition as part of the choir including sight reading, breathing, diction and performance skills.
As part of this programme we have recognised that the financial commitment can be a roadblock for young people who are either studying, working part time or maybe in an apprenticeship. We therefore have a reduced fee structure for people in this age group.
The Fay Baker Scholarships are also available which you are encouraged to apply for.
We encourage you to join with us during our Christmas Carols season as a no ongoing obligation trial. There is no cost involved, but we do require a commitment from you to perform when you are rostered on.
If you are considering joining Oriana as part of our young adult initiative, please complete the Audition Application Form and further information will be provided to you by the Membership Co-ordinator (membership@oriana.org.au)
If successful in your audition you will be invited to become a financial member. Financial membership means you are covered by our insurance for rehearsals and performances.
If you have any questions, please email us at membership@oriana.org.au
Becoming a member of the Oriana Ensemble
The Oriana Ensemble is a part of the senior Oriana Choir. Anyone who has passed an audition to join the Choir will be given the opportunity to put their name forward to take part in Oriana Ensemble events.
As these events are performed on an ad hoc basis, sometimes at short notice we understand that work or home life commitments can preclude participation. Our process is simple: a request goes out for volunteers for an event and you simply register if you are able to take part.
Please note that people are NOT able to join the Ensemble without first being a participant in the senior choir.
Becoming a member of the Sunshine Coast Youth Choir
If you are interested in joining the Sunshine Coast Youth Choir, you must be between 8 and 18 years of age. You can be any voice type and it doesn't matter if you're not sure which one you are. Everyone is welcome!
To become a member of the Youth Choir you must pay the membership fee. We have three concert seasons each year. Membership means you are also covered by our insurance for rehearsals and performances.
If you are ready to sign your child (or children) up to join the choir, please register them using our online registration form or:
