Sing it loud and proud with Kiama Illawarra Pride Choir

Kiama Illawarra Pride Choir (KIPC) proudly brings a musical voice to the LGBTQI+ community and their allies in the Shoalhaven and Illawarra region. The choir requires no auditioning, but a positive belief that everybody deserves to be celebrated! 



It all began in 2021, singing through the COVID lockdowns. Since then they've gone on to perform at many spots, this year at Blackheath Choral Festival, The Servo at Port Kembla and Coledale Markets. Though they say that some of their favourite gigs have included singing at Pride events for ACON, Rainbow South Coast and the Trans and Friends

Festivals at the University of Wollongong.



Their music repertoire has a broad range, from pop to contemporary and a little classical in the mix. Through their songs, their message is strong and true, that “the power of singing has the ability to build a community and promote wellbeing in mind and body.” 



Locals interested in joining can find them rehearsing on Monday nights. Rehearsals alternate between Kiama and Wollongong:

  • 1st, 3rd, and 5th Mondays: 7pm - 8:30pm, Kiama Uniting Church, 19 Bong Bong St, Kiama
  • 2nd and 4th Mondays: 7:30pm - 9pm, Phoenix Theatre Community Hall, 24 Bridge St, Coniston.


Your first rehearsal is free, and new members are always welcome! For more information, contact Tonina at 0421 011 242 or email [email protected].
