Two Bays Choir, located on the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria, is a combination of three community a'cappella choirs. 'Simply Irresistible' sings Blues and Swing, and rehearses on Monday nights in Frankston. 'Making Waves' focuses on World Music and meets on Tuesdays, whilst 'Indigo Singers' is a Gospel Choir which combines rehearsal with the Tuesday night choir in Mornington. There are no auditions. Men and women of all ages and experience are welcome.
In November, 2008, women from Two Bays Choir helped to to celebrate 100 years of Womens Suffrage in Victoria. The Victorian Women's Trust held a forum which closed with the Women's Anthem, "Love and Justice" written and conducted by Kavisha Mazzella. Our choir members joined the 400 strong women's chorus for this moving rendition at the BMW Edge, Melbourne.

The Mornington Peninsula Choral Festival, May 2008, held at Toorak College, a wonderful venue with many spaces in which we can sing to both large and small audiences.
Members of Two Bays Choir went to Daylesford again this year for the Singers Festival organised by the Boite and featuring lots of guest artists who ran wonderful workshops. On the Saturday evening we perform in a concert with other choirs, artists and groups. What a great experience to learn and to contribute to this event in the lovely environment of Daylesford.Some set up comfortable camping sites. Others opted for air conditioned comfort in a motel.
In August 2007, 35 members of Two Bays Choir joined with 300 other singers from around Melbourne, to sing as the Melbourne Millenium Chorus. The concert was a 10 year retrospective of the MMC and was held at the BMW Edge in Feration Square in Melbourne.
