Join us for a private screening of “Gurrumul”: a close-up of the celebrated Indigenous Australian singer and multi-instrumentalist, blind since birth.

We’re very excited to be hosting a Q&A with producer, Shannon Swan, after the screening.

Book quickly – the opportunity to hear from Shannon means tix will sell out!

When: Wednesday, 30 May from 6.30

Where: Cinema Nova, Carlton

After six years, White Night has become a hugely popular event in Melbourne’s social calendar. But in 2018 the electric evening will get a little bit hotter as the Brunswick Women’s Choir add their magic to the night.

We’ll be amplifying the atmosphere in the Melbourne Museum for two different shows. Bring the family along for an 8pm show, or warm up your late-night vibe with a 10pm performance.

We’ve chosen a diverse repertoire – a few songs to evoke the energy of the wilder wonders around us, and a few to get you in the groove for some Saturday night sizzle.

Details:
Location: Melbourne Museum, 11 Nicholson St, Carlton
Time: 8pm / 10pm
Cost: Free!

We Can’t Keep Quiet: Singing to Let It Out

Join us on 28 October for our annual showcase concert.

For the 2017 showcase, the choir will bring you on a musical journey that reflects the joys, sorrows and triumphs of life.

We’re excited to introduce several new songs and revive an old favourite. It’s a repertoire that will make you think, reflect, question and celebrate.

Join us as we sing for a better world – because we can’t keep quiet!

More than 65 million people worldwide have been forced to leave their homes due to war, persecution, natural disasters and poverty. They’re alone in a world where many people do not want them. And just like you, all they want is a safe place to call home. The need for action is great and the time for a warm welcome is now.

Brunswick Women’s Choir believes in the power of music to help bring about change. The BWC sings stories to inspire audiences and bring people together. Our songs of hope give voice to those in need.

The choir will be supported by the 8 women of Acoustic Kitchen who hail from South Gippsland and the Latrobe Valley. They sing a cappella from the heart, as well as for social justice.

We will also hear from speakers who will share their story about seeking asylum or helping others to do so.

All proceeds from this event will go to the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre. The ASRC advocates the importance of empowering people with lived experience to share their story and shift attitudes about refugees and people seeking asylum.

We acknowledge Moreland City Council in supporting this event.

WHEN: Sunday, 26 March. Doors open 4.30pm / 5.00pm start

Brunswick Women’s Choir were honoured to be invited by Moreland Council to perform at the Annual Maurice Blackburn Oration held in July this year. The event gave the BWC their first experience of Facebook Live Streaming, which we hope most of
you were able to catch. Sadly once a live stream is over, we can’t access the footage again, but we promise it was a stunner!

BWC members were invited to sit in the auditorium between sets, and enjoyed the opportunity to listen to an Oration on the “Changing Faces of Australian Families” presented by Her Excellency the Hon Linda Dessau AM, Governor of Victoria.

The evening also provided a great chance for Brunswick Women’s Choir to perform in our neighbouring municipality of Coburg.
