About Us
Our Singing Venue
‘Bondi Sings’ is a long standing community choir originally formed as an initiative of Waverley Council. In 2013 the choir became registered as a not for profit association and is now managed by a committee of dedicated members.
The choir meets for 2 hours each Tuesday night during school terms. The meeting time is 7.15pm. Our rehearsal venue is St Columba Uniting Church (53 Ocean St Woollahra), but we are secular.
The choir is directed by Gary Smith who is a music educator and freelance musician with many years experience in NSW schools, and various choirs and small a cappella ensembles.
Over the years our repertoire has included many styles including pop music, jazz tunes, gospel songs, classical music and traditional folk music, amongst others. Each year we introduce pieces as suggested and voted on by the choir. Please note that we are non-denominational and sing a range of music including carols and national folksongs.
We perform 1-2 concerts a year to showcase our best work and engage the community. We often take part in additional events such as festivals and other community events.
