UNISONg is a Community Women’s Choir based in Wagga Wagga. This non-auditioned, come-when-you-can, performing is optional choir aims to be diverse and inclusive and use singing to connect and empower its members. It is supported by the Wagga Women's Health Centre and in 2022 Charles Sturt University, Wagga Wagga Campus provided a large, indoor singing space for the choir. A more central and larger rehearsal space was required in 2023 and UNISONg now meets at the Wagga Wagga PCYC OOSH Room (Fitzhardinge St).
UNISONg provides a supportive and inclusive environment for members to meet each week (if possible) and improve their wellbeing through meaningful and directed musical connection.
Singing in a group strengthens a community’s social connection, health education and wellbeing outcomes, including mental health.
Tania de Jong, Australian soprano, said, “When we sing with others there is something really magical as we sing in harmony together. Not only do we breathe together, but studies have shown that our hearts start to beat together.”

A healthy community choir = a healthy community heartbeat
