A Community of Voices
We are not just a choir; we are a community of voices united by a shared journey through cancer.
Under the brilliant leadership of our extraordinary Musical Director, Andre Da Silva, we have found harmony in the face of adversity.
​
What began as a personal challenge has transformed into a powerful symphony, as we turn life’s toughest moments into music that resonates with hope and resilience.
​
The OUTSINGCANCER choir brings together people of all singing abilities, rehearsing several times a week across different locations to prepare for a wide range of live performances throughout the year. We welcome anyone whose life has been touched by cancer to join us, whether seasoned singers or those discovering their voice for the first time.
​
In addition to our scheduled performances, the choir is available to bring a touch of magic to your special events – whether it’s a wedding, birthday celebration, a personal memorial, or even an intimate gathering. Let our voices turn your occasion into an unforgettable experience.
​
The choir can also be booked for events including private performances, weddings, birthday parties and funerals.
