24.01.2022 Victoria Chorale's honorary member Prof. Jenny Graves AO prominently featured in all the major Australian newspapers!

19.01.2022 The memories keep coming from this time last year over in Austria. We were singing in Stephansdom in Vienna, Herz Jesu Kirche in Graz and St Margarethen. The audiences were so welcoming and we thoroughly enjoyed Mathias Unterkofler accompanying us on the church organ in Graz. Happy Days!

19.01.2022 We are unable to sing at the moment, but it's good to look at some of our concerts from the past. Memories of a concert we performed with Stonnington Symphony Orchestra Concert 17 August 2014 at Malvern Town Hall.- six years ago! . Verdi Stabat Mater and Zadok the Priest with Stonnington Symphony Orchestra, Victoria Chorale and MonashUCS. ... Beethoven 9th Symphony, See more

18.01.2022 We may not be able to attend rehearsals or present wonderful concerts at the moment, but we can look back on some from prevoius years. This concert was performed the week before many members of Victoria Chorale travelled to Austria for a concert tour in July 2019. Mario Dobernig Sally-Anne Russell James Emerson

13.01.2022 On exactly this day last year, 7th December 2019, Victoria Chorale performed it's last concert called Gloria! Little did we know at the time it was going to be the last one for 12 months, but here's hoping 2021 will be different and we can all get together again. Gloria! was performed at Collins street Baptist church to a sold out audience and a good night was had by all.

13.01.2022 5 years ago, members of Victoria Chorale travelled to Kawana Waters in Queensland to sing in a concert with the Sunshine coast Oriana choir, the Art of Sound Orchestra and Sally-Anne Russell. It was great to travel up there and they then travelled to Melbourne to join us at the magnificent St. Paul's cathedral Melbourne and a full house. A good time was had by all.

11.01.2022 Memories of our Marvellous Mozart concert in July 2017 at Collins street Baptist church with a very happy conductor, Mario Dobernig, soloists Jennifer Barrington, Anna Plotka,Michael Lapina, Jerzy Kozlowski and the Art of Sound Orchestra.

10.01.2022 We had a Christmas get together this week, and it was the first time many of us had seen each other since March when covid 19 put an abrupt stop to rehearsals. It was such a good night, and to make it even better, we had the celebrated Sally-Anne Russell to sing a few songs for us and maestro Mario Dobernig was our MC for the night!

06.01.2022 Some memories of our 2018 Carmina Burana concert which was a sellout and we had a standing ovation! This was almost exactly 2 years ago and who knows when we will be able to do another concert during covid 19 times, but fingers crossed it won't be too long.
