Community Programs
Tutti Choir
A performing choir of up to 80 people of all ages. Formed in 1997 this internationally acclaimed choir rehearses 5.30 to 7.30pm on Wednesdays evenings. This increases to twice weekly (Saturday 1 to 4pm) before major performances. People with and without a disability from the wider community are encouraged to join. There is no audition but a willingness to commit to the rehearsal process is very important. Singers can choose to learn repertoire either aurally or with music.
Club Tutti
A non-performance based choir which meets on Monday evening between 5.30 and 7pm. Club Tutti caters for up to 30 people with a disability who for health or time constraints cannot commit to performing. There is no audition and the emphasis is on enjoyment of social singing and learning basic music skills.
Big Country Choir
Since 2003 Tutti has offered opportunities to over 100 people with a disability in regional SA to participate in music and choral singing through the Big Country Choir outreach program. There are two regional groups based on the Tutti and Club Tutti models each with their own conductor and unique identity.
