Reconciliation Australia is calling singers across the country to come together in song to contribute to National Reconciliation Week 2025, from Tuesday 27 May – Tuesday 3 June.
The National Reconciliation Week (NRW) 2025 theme, Bridging Now to Next, reflects the ongoing connection between past, present and future and urges us to look ahead and continue the push forward as past lessons guide us.
The song we will all be singing is the iconic Australian anthem Solid Rock written by Shane Howard.
Add your voices for reconciliation.
How to be part of Voices for Reconciliation
- Register your choir or group to participate using the registration form.
- When you register your choir, you will be able to access arrangements and backing tracks. There are full and shortened arrangements of the song, as well as filming tips if you want to share your performance video with us.
- Rehearse and work on your approach to the song – sing as much or as little of the song as you want.
- Choose where you would like to perform your song. It could be at school lunchtime, at a party or event, in a park, at the local markets, in a hospital or care facility, or even in your own lounge room.
- You can choose to video your choir or group singing and share via social media during National Reconciliation Week using the tags #NRW2025 #VoicesforReconciliation #SolidRock
- Tag Reconciliation Australia: Instagram, Facebook, X/Twitter, LinkedIn
- Download and share the Voices for Reconciliation poster!
Send us your performance video
If you choose to submit your video, it will help us share the impact of Voices for Reconciliation and we would love to include your performance video on our channels throughout National Reconciliation Week.
You don’t need to share your performance video with us for your choir or singing group to take part.
Please note: The deadline for video submissions is 8pm (AEST) Wednesday 14 May 2025.
We also encourage you to share the video on your social channels at any time during National Reconciliation Week using the tags #NRW2025 #VoicesforReconciliation #SolidRock.
