Find Your Voice - All Abilities Choir is a celebration of human spirit!
The choir is a collective of individuals identifying with a disability sharing energy & emotion through music.
Established in southwest Victoria by singer/songwriter, Tom Richardson, and All Abilities Advocacy mentor, Kylie Thulborn, the choir grew from humble grass-roots meetings into showcase performances at the 2018 Port Fairy Folk Festival, Queenscliff Music Festival and Rotary Concert for Peace, featuring a choir of over 150 participants from all corners of South-West Victoria - Warrnambool, Geelong, Surf Coast, Bellarine, Hamilton, Portland & Terang.
The choir, which welcomes members of all abilities, ages, genders, ethnicities, sexual preferences and backgrounds, continues to attract national and international attention following standing ovations at performances and over 70,000 views on the ABC’s online feature.
The FYV family is potentially the largest choir of its nature, anywhere in the world!

Harnessing the joy and vibration of using one’s voice, there is undeniable infectious energy created through collective song & movement.
While there are some choir members who identify as non-verbal, they are often the first to lay down a percussion groove or instigate an impromptu dance party!
