Pop Choir Sing for a good cause

By Pop Choir

The Pop Choir community have created this page to make a difference

Pop Choir Australia have written, produced and recorded their first charity single called β€œWindows with Smiles” to spread awareness and raise money for LighthouseΒ FoundationΒ https://www.lighthousefoundation.org.au/

The singleΒ was produced by the renownedΒ Melbourne music producer Simon Moro and was written by Darryl JohnΒ Moulton, one of the directors of Pop Choir.

350 everyday community members from Pop Choir Australia came togetherΒ to take on this challenge of a lifetime: recording the very first Pop ChoirΒ charity single called β€œWindows with Smiles” and film a music video.Β These members sang their parts at the iconic Iwaki Auditorium,Β home to the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.Β The music video was filmed both inside the Iwaki Auditorium and outside the LighthouseΒ Foundation’s office, as well as at the LMC Recording Studio Melbourne.Β 

Eleanor Chadwick, a member of Pop Choir Mordialloc, played the main role in the musicΒ video, which was filmed in the famous laneways and streets of Melbourne’s CBD.

This is the first time ever in the history of Australia that a communityΒ choir has recorded and filmed their very own, original professionalΒ pop song and music video of this magnitude.

The whole project was completely self-fundedΒ by Pop Choir and the members involved in the recording, in hopeΒ of raising awareness and vital funds to support Lighthouse Foundation and its mission to end youth homelessness in Australia.Β 

After sharing the song with the world, the Pop Choir has had many media opportunities, including ABC radio, The Morning Show and The Age Newspaper.

Pop ChoirΒ all share one common interest. Their love and passion for singing.Β 

To bring the year to a big finale the Pop Choir along with the infamous Jemma Rix and other special guests will perform on stage.Β The show will be held at the iconic Palais Theatre in St Kilda. Melbourne’s home of live music, where many of the top Australian and international stars and graced the stage before us.

This is the first time ever Pop Choir will be hosting it’s very own professionally produced show, working along side some of the best professionals in the entertainment industry.

Pop Choir continue to spread the message on the work of Lighthouse Foundation. We invite you to help us raise vital funds for the cause and spread Lighthouse Foundation's message far and wide.Β

The Lighthouse Foundation is my chosen Christmas charity for this year. This donation is my KK gift to my niece. Our family Christmas tradition is a donation instead of a gift.
