Chamber Singers

The Chamber Singers is a choir of 32 highly skilled singers who specialise in virtuosic choral repertoire from the Renaissance to the 21st century. They are renowned for their dynamic performances and their exceptional musicianship and professionalism. Their performances can be intimate and delicate, yet have the vocal power to inspire awe. They have premiered Australian music by Dan Walker and Luke Byrne, amongst others, and regularly perform with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra including performances of Eötvös’ Halleluja — Oratorium balbulum and in the Tea & Symphony series. In 2016 the Chamber Singers recorded and released This Secret World, the music of Dan Walker.

Every year, the Chamber Singers perform their own concert. In 2019, they presented their own concert of jazz and swing – In the Mood. In 2020, the Chamber Singers performed an intimate concert of Fauré’s Requiem at St Andrew’s Cathedral. At Easter 2021, Elizabeth Scott led the Chamber Singers in Bach’s St John Passion, with works by Brooke Shelley and Joseph Twist woven throughout. In 2022, they performed as part of the Sydney Festival in Night of the Soul, JS Bach’s Mass in B minor, and in Grant Us Peace with works by Peteris Vasks, Stuart Greenbaum and Maria Lopes at St Andrew’s Cathedral. In 2023, the Chamber Singers performed Sir James MacMillan’s Stabat Mater along with other works in St Andrew’s Cathedral.

The 2024 Season sees the Chamber Singers singing John Peterson’s Shadows and Light, Fauré’s Requiem, works by D Scarlatti, Monteverdi and more in Voices of the Italian Baroque, and Rodgers & Hammerstein hits in Showstoppers.

Weekly rehearsals are on Monday evenings with some additional rehearsals throughout the year.
