Our Story

About OneBigVoice

Born from a passion for inclusive music education, we've grown from a single school choir into Australia's largest children's singing festival. Our mission is to empower every child with the lifelong gift of song.

A Movement of Musical Inclusion

One Big Voice was founded on a core belief: every child can sing, and every child deserves the chance to experience the profound joy of singing in harmony. We don't hold auditions, and we don't judge. Instead, we provide a safe, exhilarating platform where primary students can find their voice alongside thousands of their peers.

By removing the pressure of competition, we allow students to focus entirely on collaboration, self-expression, and the pure, unadulterated fun of making music together. It's an educational journey that culminates in a spectacular arena performance.

Our Guiding Philosophy

Over Two Decades of Harmony

What started in 2001 as a modest gathering of local school choirs has blossomed into a national phenomenon. Our founders realized early on that teachers needed high-quality, accessible resources to lead choirs with confidence, regardless of their own musical background.
