River City Voices - GiveNow
Are you uplifted by the sound of united voices?
Do you care about having an exceptional choir delivering authentic programs on your doorstep?
Help keep our united voices and distinctive programs of excellence going.
Your support is urgently needed. With the recent changes to Create NSW’s funding programs, in particular the abolishment of annual grants, River City Voices is now among the 45 small organisations that have had their core funding completely cut. In real terms, we’ve gone from $140,000 for 2025 to ZERO in 2026. And that puts our future programs, and even our existence, at serious risk.
We need to raise $30,000 to ensure sufficient reserves to continue to deliver an outstanding program of concerts which champions local Australian talent at the standard of excellence that our audiences and supporters have come to expect and express:
"Local talent performing at a global standard in our own city."
“An emotionally overwhelming experience – such beauty, such power, tenderness and love. River City Voices continues its epic contribution to the cultural life of Parramatta and western Sydney.”
But it’s not just the excellence of our programs. River City Voices is an important collaborator and collective that enriches our community, through professionally engaging hundreds of arts workers, artists, orchestras, ensembles, soloists, composers and next-generation artists to coordinate, deliver, create and perform in our standout programs. And, since 2019, has entertained over 38,000 people!
Our choir also touches people on a very personal level...
“Tim* has found a sense of purpose and acceptance he has not found anywhere else…a sense of responsibility and commitment to a programme that truly recognises he has skills and abilities that are appreciated, giving him a valued role and helping him develop and grow confidence. He structures his whole week and year around choir. It is the main component of his NDIS plan meeting his goals, way beyond any expectations we ever dared to dream. River City Voices is a model for any organisation seeking excellence and inclusivity at the same time.” *not his real name
Since 2019, River City Voices has become a leading choir built on a platform that values diversity, inclusivity and accessibility to the Arts for all.
Here are just a few of River City Voices’ many outstanding achievements supported directly by people like you through campaigns like these:
Your urgent support is needed to ensure we can continue to do more great work like this to build the world we all want.
The time is now. Will you respond to our SOS and Support Our Singers?
With your contribution, we can deliver an outstanding program in 2026 which includes the much-requested Fauré Requiem alongside superb choral works by young Australian composers with exceptional talent, plus support the artists and arts workers needed to deliver it!
