Membership of the Bayside Divas is open to women of all backgrounds (professional and musical) who have an interest in choral music singing and performance.

Repertoire

The Bayside Divas delight in the exploration, and celebration of women's repertoire. The choir enjoys singing a wide variety of musical styles, from traditional folk to jazz, gospel, musical theatre, world music and contemporary. Bayside Divas specialises in singing unaccompanied (a cappella) in three- or four-part and multi-divisi harmony, with the occasional use of instrumental accompaniment.

Rehearsals

Bayside Divas rehearse weekly during State school terms on Wednesday evenings from 7:00pm to 9:00pm at the Sandgate and District Senior Citizens Centre, 20 Seymour Street, Sandgate 4017, Brisbane.
