About 1 — Kiama Illawarra Pride Choir

Every Voice Belongs!

The Kiama Illawarra Pride Choir (KIPC) was started in April 2021 as an inclusive choir for the LGBTQIA+ community and our allies in the Illawarra Shoalhaven area. KIPC intentionally creates a safe space to connect, sing, socialise and perform. We are welcoming members of all musical abilities and ages - beginners to experienced singers.

We are a non-auditioned choir and believe that everyone has a voice which should be celebrated. We are welcoming of new members, anytime and would encourage all to experience the joy of singing by joining us!

We perform at community events and eisteddfods.

Fees

There are no fees for your first rehearsal. If you choose to join us, fees are as follows:

Annual fee: $100 / $70 concession, payable on the 1st of May.
