Australian Childrens Choir (Mitcham)
Founded in 1976, The Australian Children's Choir is widely regarded as one of the finest mixed-voice children's choirs in Australia. Based in Melbourne, and consisting of up to 200 boys and girls aged 6-18 in five different training ensembles, the choir has developed a strong reputation for its refined performances, varied repertoire and the production of fine young musicians, many of whom have gone on to pursue successful musical careers.
Since 1998 The Australian Children's Choir has been under the Artistic Direction of Andrew Wailes, widely acknowledged as one of Australia's leading choral directors.
The Australian Children's Choir has previously made regular international tours as well as extensively throughout regional and country Victoria.
The young singers who comprise the senior performing ensemble of the Australian Children's Choir meet twice a week to rehearse outside school hours, and must demonstrate a high degree of musical ability, personal organization and concentration to become proud wearers of the Australian Children's Choir distinctive green uniforms.
