Monash Chorale is a four-part mixed community choir based in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs. Formed in 1995 to foster choral singing in the City of Monash, our vision is to create a welcoming and inclusive community choir where people from all backgrounds can come together to share their love of singing.
The choir trains under the expert guidance of a professional Musical Director, Lucas de Jong, and rehearses weekly. We traditionally present three major concerts a year, often with a chamber orchestra or small band. We’ve enjoyed varied musical collaborations with local groups and often perform at local community events.
Our repertoire spans classical, romantic and contemporary works, with lighter selections such as folk songs, show medleys and G&S. With around fifty enthusiastic members—and growing—Monash Chorale is proudly un-auditioned, yet fortunate to include many trained singers, united by a passion for music and a belief in the joy and connection that choral singing brings.
VISIT US ANYTIME
Visitors, enquiries, and new members are always welcome.
We rehearse from 7:30pm Tuesday evenings in Glen Waverley, currently in the Lutheran Church, 25 Cypress Ave, Glen Waverley.
