International Tour Program

This program provides our international audience with a glimpse of what’s happening on Australia’s lively choral scene. From June to August, these works will be part of one-hour-long programs presented in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Germany and Switzerland.

Broadly standardising responses from Australia’s 2021 census, Australians identify their origins as 57.2% European, 33.7% Australian (including 3.8% Aboriginal) and 17.4% Asian*.

The program could be seen as reflecting Australian society, in that it demonstrates a melting pot of cultural influences – European, Asian and Indigenous. Click here to see a list of European engagements.
