Alice Sings is a community choir that believes music-making is something that belongs to everyone.
Founded in 2015 by Ed Gould and Dave Crowe, Alice Sings began singing each and every Sunday out of Watch This Space Gallery in Mparntwe Alice Springs. The choir has always been open to everyone, and since it’s conception it has continued to grow.
Now led by Choir Master Edward Gould and local musicians Xavia Nou (XAVIA), Camille Bernardino (Bambadino) and Dave Crowe (Resin Moon) the choir continues to grow, proving that music-making is for everybody and that community generated music has much to offer audiences and contributes greatly to the vibrancy of the local music scene.
