Festival of Voices: Congregation
4 July @ 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm AEST

Lose yourself in the power of song at Congregation, a large-scale sing-along like no other. Run by IO Performance, this electrifying event transforms a deconsecrated church into a vibrant performance space, where everyone becomes part of the choir no singing experience required.
“Everyone is a participant in this singalong. Of course, you don’t have to sing if you don’t want to, you can be there and just vibe with it,” says IO Performance co-artistic director Grace Roberts.
Throughout the evening, the crowd will be taught well-known songs under the guidance of vocal coaches, backed by a live band. “At the end of the night, we actually sing them it’s an incredible feeling to be surrounded by that energy,” Roberts explains.
With a bar on-site and the entire space filled with soaring harmonies, Congregation is more than just a pub choir, it’s a shared musical experience that brings people together.
