The choir was formed in 1992 in Melbourne, Australia, as a way of bringing together the diverse musical cultures which migration has brought to our city.

By learning and performing songs from a wide range of ethnic traditions, the choir has become a musical microcosm of multicultural Melbourne.

The choir has performed songs in over 40 languages at conferences, festivals and community celebrations. Musicians from all over the world have worked with the choir and contributed to its repertoire.

We rehearse weekly with our conductor, John Howard. John is a singer, performer and teacher. He is an experienced leader of workshops and also teaches individuals and has a particular interest in facilitating groups and individuals in creating their own vocal soundscapes for pleasure, performance or events. He has conducted a number of choirs, has an AMusA in singing, and a great love of singing, especially in and with groups.

The weekly rehearsals are run on Thursday evenings as part of the Voice Workshop program at the Footscray Community Arts Centre, downstairs in the theatre at 45 Moreland St, Footscray (Melway 42 E5).
Our terms are usually the same as school terms.
