Big Sing McLaren Vale is proud to be working jointly with the musical and education sectors to provide support with music education, so that we can help build children’s participation in singing.
Firstly, in 2025 we are supporting choirs from southern metropolitan primary schools to participate in the annual Adelaide Primary Schools Festival of Music.
With its genesis in 1891 as the Thousand Voice Choir, the Festival of Music engages students in artistic excellence, cultural diversity and social inclusion through performance in Music and the Arts.
There are Festival Choirs in over 300 schools across South Australia. It is an integral part of South Australian life and stands as an official State Icon.
Secondly, as an on-going project, we are sponsoring Music in Me mentorships for teachers in the City of Onkaparinga region (see eligibility criteria).
