Manly Children’s Choir

For girls and boys aged 6-12 years, this popular choir is taught by one of our highly experienced staff members. It offers a wonderful opportunity for younger children to build performance confidence, gain musical knowledge and to make new friends in a fun and low-pressure environment.

Material covered is Disney classics, musical theatre songs, current pop songs and some standard Australian classics.  Because the Choir has a number of performance opportunities throughout the year it is particularly good for children who love to sing but are a little too shy to do this in a public arena by themselves.

Please note that the Manly children’s choir is on hold until further notice.  We will hopefully be back later in the year (2022).

Reignite –  Teens ensemble

Reignite is a young teens vocal ensemble and offers a great opportunity for intermediate vocalists aged 10-14 years to work on their vocal technique and take it to the next level.  There is a strong emphasis on harmony work and a chance to sing solos as well as group repertoire.

Contemporary music is the main genre covered along with some classics hits. They have performed at the Manly Council events including the Manly Carols in the Park and ANZAC Day Events. Entry is by audition or invitation.

Purple Moon

One of the most successful choirs on the Northern Beaches, Purple Moon was created and nurtured for many years by former director of Sydney Vocal Arts Centre, Margi Coen. It brings together a very lively group of men and women from a wide range of professions and backgrounds who are united by their passion for singing. This choir sings contemporary, jazz, gospel, pop and classic hits – putting its own stamp and style on its repertoire.

Members must be of intermediate vocal ability and a short (but sweet) audition is necessary for entry to this Choir. Purple Moon also have performance opportunities throughout the year.

VoiceMale is a male only community based choir in Sydney’s Lower North Shore and rehearse on Tuesday nights from 7.30pm – 9.30pm during school terms.
