The Australian Voices

Over the past 18 years, The Australian Voices has toured annually performing to audiences around the world. The mission of The Australian Voices is to commission, perform, record and promote the music of Australian composers.

Recent tours of Europe and Australia for their Summer Moon and Choral Classic shows were recieved to standing ovations and sell out crowds.

Since 1993, The Australian Voices has championed an astonishing flourish of new Australian vocal music, having commissioned over 200 compositions.  Much of this new music captures vividly the vibrant sound, colour and energy of the Australian continent, its culture and its people.  The ensemble has performed over 500 concerts of new Australian music to over 250,000 live audience members in over 20 countries.  Along the way, this extraordinary a cappella troupe has amassed a swag of coveted awards, winning an enviable clutch of accolades, medals and trophies at major international competitions and events.

Currently under the direction of Gordon Hamilton (2009-), The Australian Voices have achieved outstanding levels of national and international success, including the following distinctions

• Outstanding Contribution to Australian Music – Regional Area (The Australian Voices Festival), Australian Classical Music Awards (2008)
