Throughout the year, we perform at a variety of venues, raising funds for The Children’s Hospital at Westmead. If you would like to support this wonderful cause, please use the donation box at the bottom right of this page and indicate in the comments that your donation is for the hospital.

We welcome anyone who enjoys singing and can carry a tune to join our chorus.  While previous musical training is helpful, it is not required.  We provide all the necessary materials, instruction, and techniques to help you succeed and enjoy a rewarding, satisfying, and healthy hobby.

Most of our singers do not read music; insteadl they learn using practice tracks.

 

New member Marnie wrote an advert for us last year and some of her words were... 

THERE’S ROOM FOR ALL IN THE CHOIR
‘In my next life I want to be a singer’. How many times have you heard this? Or, ‘If I
could start again, I’d be a singer or at least sing in a choir’.

If this is what you’d love to do, or love to do again, you can do it now. The SydneySiders
Harmony Express Chorus is holding an open evening March 5th for anyone who thinks singing
would give them something extra special in their life. This choir has been active in Ryde
for more than twenty years and continues to attract new members of all ages.

One of the songs we sing ends with the words: There’s room for all in the choir!
So, whatever your prior experience come along and decide for yourself.

Now is the time to find your voice and sing in harmony.
Marnie, Ryde

 

 

 


A wonderful night singing to the Children

Our greatest pleasure each year is our Christmas visit to The Children's Hospital at Westmead. Sometimes we are able to entertain the children over the "in-house" television facility. We entertain at various spots and end up in one of the children's wards nurses station to sing and then present our annual donation to the Oncology, Unit. We were awarded the "Bear" statue when we attained the "Patron Status". As at the end of 2024 our donations over the years amount to over $190,000
