Welcome to the Website of SydneySiders Express Barbershop Chorus
This year's Biennial Fund Raising Concert
which supports The Children's Hospital at Westmead
will be held in the Abbotsleigh Auditorium
November 6th 2010 at 7:45pm
The SydneySiders Express Barbershop Chorus comprises of around 45 men from all walks of life, who love to sing four-part unaccompanied (A Cappella) harmony known universally as Barbershop.
The aim of the Chorus is to encourage and enjoy the Barbershop art form, and have fun, therefore, we have a great time on Thursday evenings practising our craft, followed by the enjoyment of sharing our craft by singing to the community.
Over the years we have supported the Oncology Unit, Children's Hospital at Westmead, with singouts, concerts etc which helps us pay for music, copyright, costumes etc, we are then able to make a major donation each year to the Oncology unit. Our donations so far, have been in the vicinity of $108,000.
Our Mission Statement - Singing for FUN
- Entertaining Others
- Contributing to a Charity
- Competing
Our Hobby, is not only fun, but is amazingly easy to learn, with learning CD’s, together with singing tuition available to individual members each practice night, You do not need to be able to read music, or play a musical instrument.
Recently it has been proved what we knew that, "Singing is Healthy".
If you love to sing, have a good ear, and can hold a tune, you will really get a buzz from this close harmony singing.
We are always looking for new members, but you, your family and friends, and any other visitors are most welcome any Thursday from 7:45pm at our normal rehearsal venue, Ryde Anglican Centre, corner of Church & Gowrie Streets, Ryde.
Please enjoy browsing our website where you'll discover a lot, not only about us, but also about the Barbershop fraternity at large. Great camaraderie is shown between men in barbershop choruses, between choruses, and all around the world.
Truly we sing "Let There Be Peace, and Harmony".
