Dedicated to all who seek hope and inspiration

"To celebrate our return to singing together in-person, we wanted to do something special. The result is a gift to the community and wider world in the form of this music video. Will Todd’s ‘All will be well’ beautifully captures what we have needed to hear these past two years. In Melbourne, our young people have endured some of the hardest and longest lockdowns in the world. We are so proud of their strength and resilience during this difficult time. The ACC hopes ‘All will be well’ will offer quiet encouragement to those who need it over the coming weeks and months ahead."  
Daniel Brinsmead, Artistic Director.

Developing an excellent musical education

Great benefits for children and youth

With five training choirs the ACC caters for children of all ages and abilities to develop musical excellence. Our outstanding staff endeavour to encourage a love of singing in a safe and encouraging environment.

The Australian Children’s Choir frequently performs at high-profile events both in Melbourne and around the world. The choir has regular regional and international tours to give the choristers opportunities for cultural and musical exchanges. Recent tours have seen the choir travel through Europe, North America, China, and East Coast Australia.

Belonging to and performing with the ACC contributes to the development of children’s’ general education in areas such as self-discipline, communication, inter-personal skills, self-confidence and teamwork, as well promotion of good mental health and joy!
