It's our birthday!
Sydney Children's Choir and Gondwana Choirs is turning 21. As a youth organisation, this is an incredibly exciting and significant milestone for us. And we can't wait to celebrate with you, our Sydney Children's Choir and Gondwana families.
We're asking for your support to help us continue to nurture and inspire young people.
For everyone who has been a part of the SCC and Gondwana families, singing in one of our choirs has meant the chance to meet and perform with other passionate, like-minded young people, and form lifelong friendships.
As a not-for-profit organisation, our reach is wide, but our margins are small. Combined government funding only provides 14% of our operating costs.
I am never happier with music than when I am at a Sydney or Gondwana Children's Choir concert. The sound is superb, the precision and discipline is astonishing, and the concentration and animation of the kids is a joy. And what a wonderful experience for them! Such a beginning to their lives must give them an advantage so great that it is almost unfair.Richard Letts, Executive Director, Music Council of Australia
Help us reach our next milestone
Your gift to Gondwana will help us continue to grow and thrive for another 21 years.
Please know that we greatly appreciate your contribution, which will make a difference. We hope to raise $20,000. Any amount you can donate will help us reach our goal.
In July, we're thrilled to present a momentous 21st birthday concert at the Sydney Opera House - the biggest single concert undertaking in the history of our choirs. Your support will go towards ensuring this performance is a success, and will propel our choirs into the future.
'Gondwana Choirs has brought music and the unflagging energy of youth into my life and home. For me, the 21st birthday celebration of Gondwana Choirs is a milestone of something that has become a joyful part of our lives. I hope you will choose to support them so that we can all share more milestones like this into the future' - Katherine Hodgkinson, parent of current choristers, kick-started our appeal!
All donations over $2 are fully tax-deductible.
With your permission, we would like to acknowledge contributions over $200 in our 21st birthday concert program* and on our website. We hope to have 100 names in time for July's concert, which will show the strength and commitment of the Gondwana family, and what it means to have been a part of our choirs.
* Our concert program goes to print on Monday 14 June - all donations of $200 and above received by this date will be acknowledged in the program.
