Earth Wind and Choir - Term 4 2026

Earth Wind and Choir is a pop-up choir led by renowned local artist Elana Stone (of All Our Exes Live in Texas, Missy Higgins, Josh Pyke etc) and multi-instrumentalist Duncan Rintoul. EWC was launched in the Illawarra region in 2018 with the intention of building friendship, joy, music and connection. The choir reinterprets and performs an eclectic mix of songs, from the likes of Tears for Fears and Blink 182, to Fleet Foxes and The White Lotus theme - and everything in between. Elana and EWC have workshopped and performed at Thirroul Music Festival and Woodford Folk Festival. In a world that feels increasingly disconnected and divided it’s becoming more and more important to get in a room with another human and sing, tell stories and make art. It regulates our nervous systems, increases oxytocin levels (aiding bonding) and decreases cortisol (lowering stress). It can also rapidly result in feelings of connection and flow – improving our mood, strengthening sense of identity and helping out long and short-term memory. This workshop is open to all ages and abilities. No vocal or choral experience is necessary. Just turn up and sing. We work over multiple weeks on repertoire chosen by the choir directors and usually aim towards a public performance at the end of term.
