EVERY DAY A VOICE (Phyland, 2026)
Every day is a voice day…
for work and for art,
for speaking, singing
and being heard.

On April 16, we listen wider: to the bright, the fragile, the fierce, the different
a chorus of colours crossing oceans,
each voice carrying a world.

We tend them like living instruments:
kept supple, not strained,
used with care, not worn thin.

We speak to connect, not to divide,
to reach, not to drown out
and we remember, with quiet gratitude,
that our voices can also be our votes.

Details of your World Voice Day Event

Ageing voices need additional care to understand and manage changes as we age. Our mature LGBTQIA voices can also become silenced in challenging current contexts. This is a gentle introduction to vocal care and Dr Catherine Pestano will share her work with our community and also taking singing our into nature for broader connection and overall wellbeing. A half hour talk will be followed by a 30 minute outdoor introduction so bring your brolly just in case. Rain is actually lovely when we stop resisting it! Like so many things.
