In 2026, the Melbourne Women’s Choir celebrates its 33rd year of sharing the joy of choral music. Our concerts will feature treasured favourites alongside new works, celebrating the rich repertoire written and arranged for women’s voices.

Founded with its first performances at the Women Composers Conference in Melbourne, the choir has since enjoyed an extensive and varied musical journey. It has performed with the Melbourne, Sydney and Stonnington Symphony Orchestras, appeared in the Classical Spectacular at Rod Laver Arena, sung at St Patrick’s Cathedral and performed on television.

The choir has shared concerts with choirs from Australia, Japan, New Zealand and Wales, hosted ten national Voices of Women festivals, and co-hosted the annual Choral@Melbourne (formerly Choral@Montsalvat) festivals with the Melbourne Chamber Choir.

Beyond the concert stage, the choir has recorded the Valour Hymn for the Victorian Police Force, contributed music for a film and a video game, and regularly performs at community events including the Carmelite Carol Evening in Kew.

The Melbourne Women’s Choir has released three CDs: Virtuoso Women, My Song in the Night and And the Angels Sing (featuring works by Britten, Holst and Hamilton).

The choir has toured Europe in 2016 and 2019, performing in renowned venues including Trinity College Greenwich, Cambridge University, La Madeleine and St-Eustache in Paris, St Stephen’s Cathedral in Vienna, churches in Prague, Nymphenburg Palace in Munich, and La Pieta in Venice. In 2025, the Melbourne Women’s Choir travelled to Denmark, Sweden, Latvia and Ireland, performing in beautiful venues and attending workshops with choral experts from around the world.

For 33 years, the Melbourne Women’s Choir has celebrated excellence in women’s choral singing while building lasting musical friendships in Australia and overseas.
