What is One Day Choir?
One Day Choir is a unique musical experience created by The Hyderabad Voices, where complete beginners come together to discover the joy of singing in harmony. Led by Ashrita Arockiam D’souza, our conductor, participants learn a specially arranged song over the course of just a few hours and perform it together by the end of the session.
No auditions.
No previous musical experience.
No need to read sheet music.
Just bring your voice, curiosity, and willingness to sing.
The aim is not to create perfect singers—it is to create an unforgettable experience of connection, confidence, and collective music-making.
Spaces are limited, so we recommend booking early to secure your place!
