Brisbane Sings was originally produced by David Kidd and Craig Allister Young in 1993. This concert featured the largest massed choir then assembled in Queensland - 500 voices in conjunction with the Queensland Youth Orchestra. The event was a huge success, selling 3,000 tickets over two performances in the Concert Hall at QPAC. Plans to make the concert a yearly event were put on hold when the two producers pursued professional music careers overseas. Fast-forward over twenty years and Brisbane Sings feels like it never left. The idea of so many voices sharing the stage has attracted a wide range of community musical organisations who share a passion for the art of singing. This event is not only a fun and entertaining show, it’s a great way for groups to collaborate and strengthen creative relationships in a non-competitive environment. Many of our choirs are performing together for the first time, learning, from the diversity of styles and choral approaches on offer. It’s a singing nerds dream. The concert builds on the Queensland Show Choir’s mission to create memorable and lasting experiences for its members but it’s also about making new friends. Brisbane has an incredibly vibrant cultural life. It’s our hope that Brisbane Sings will become a major part of that for many years to come.
