Alchemy, by Gordon Kerry

This time last year, the Australian Chamber Choir gave eleven performances in Europe. This video was filmed at the Swiss international festival known as ‘Ceresio Estate’, a series of summer concerts in churches around Lake Lugano. European Audiences were fascinated by the Australian works on the program, which included this setting of William Shakespeare’s Sonnet XXXIII, by Gordon Kerry.

On their return to Australia, the ACC performed their 2024 international tour program at the Church of the Resurrection in Macedon. You can watch the full concert on ACCess.

In July 2024, the Australian Chamber Choir gave eleven performances in Europe.

Power in Stillness, commissioned by the ACC, was premiered in 2022 as part of a Melbourne concert entitled Vivaldi’s Gloria, Agatha’s Cantata, which also premiered a newly-discovered work by Agatha della Pietà (1712–69). You can watch the full concert on ACCess.

Douglas Lawrence talks about the ACC’s first 4 years

In 2011, we decided to pay ACC singers to perform. This video was created at this turning point in the ACC’s history. Paid concerts have become an important affirmation in the early careers of the young singers who work with us. Ensemble singing as a career path is almost non-existent in Australia. While opera singers train for the loudest and most beautiful solo sound, ensemble singers train for a high degree of musicianship, the ability to sight-read at a high level, produce a good blending sound, to be able to listen and continually adjust to other singers and to sing with absolute rhythmical accuracy. Douglas Lawrence was recognised with an AM in the 2020 Australia Day honours for his role promoting ensemble singing and encouraging young singers.
