Brisbane Sings 2025

Brisbane Sings is on again in 2025. Always an exciting and thrilling performance with over 500 choristers on stage filling the QPAC Concert hall with wonderful music!! A performance to remember with choirs from all over Brisbane and ages varying from schools to seniors.

The origins of Brisbane Sings date back to 1993 and was originally produced by David Kidd and Craig Allister Young . This concert featured the largest massed choir then assembled in Queensland – 500 voices in conjunction with the Queensland Youth Orchestra. The event was a huge success filling the Concert Hall at QPAC over two performances. There were plans to make the concert a yearly event, however the two producers were almost victims of their own success and were busy pursuing professional music careers overseas. Brisbane Sings was put on the shelf for a while.

Fast-forward around twenty years and Brisbane Sings was kicked off again and it felt like it never left. The original concept of having a mass choir made up from community musical organisations, of all ages, sharing the stage in a celebration of the passion for the art of singing was brought back. And to make it even more special, it was reduced to a ‘One night only’ concert. Many of the individual choirs were performing together in a mass choir for the first time, learning from the diversity of styles and choral approaches on offer and all for the enjoyment of our audience. Year after year, the choirs changed varying from primary school choirs to large community choirs but always giving their all for the spirit of community choir singing. For the next 8 years the annual concert was a highlight of the year for many choirs and always an entertaining night out for our audience.  The concerts build on the Queensland Show Choir’s mission to create memorable and lasting experiences for its members and some great friendships were made along the way as well.

Details of past shows from 2012 – 2019 are available on the Brisbane Sings Website.
