Australian Chamber Choir
"SACRED AND SPINE-CHILLING ... Allegri's Misere ... was fluent and blessed with an excellent soprano who executed spine-chilling top Cs with comfortable assurance... Lawrence ... finished the formal program with Bach's rollicking Motet, "Der Geist Hilft": ... Bach vocal interpretation of high quality, with a bouncy energy and unwavering unanimity of pitch". Clive O'Connell, The Age, Melbourne, August 24, 2010
"SONIC MAGIC ... The modern works, "Lamentations" (Hodgson), "O Magnum Mysterium" (Kristof) and "O Sacrum Convivium" (Messiaen) all portrayed a highly effective sonic magic. The two spirituals given as an encore were simply stunning" General Anzeiger, Bonn, July 11 2009
"There are days when something of heaven seems to touch the earth. Thank you for giving us just such one of those days" Steffen Wegener, Presenter, ACC concert, Kaiser Wilhelm Gedaechtnisskirche, Berlin, July 14, 2007
Founded by Douglas Lawrence in 2007, the Australian Chamber Choir has already undertaken two European concert tours (in 2007 and 2009), sung for festivals in Australia and recorded for ABC FM. (More about us)

Reviews
"Last Monday the Australian Chamber Choir inspired the audience with the finest choral music. The young ensemble under conductor Douglas Lawrence impressed with its dynamic range, balance, and perfect intonation. With Bach's Singet dem Herren ein neues Lied, the audience was taken with the choirs' perfect German, effortless coloratura passages and the coherent, lively interpretation." Ostfriesischer Kurier, Norden, July 19, 2007
"Thanks to the expressiveness of the singing, Brenton Broadstock's I Had A Dream became a most beautiful experience." Berlingste Tidende, Copenhagen, July 23, 2007
"Choral work of the first rank ... intonational fidelity" Clive O'Connell, The Age, Melbourne, November 22, 2007
