Vision

To be leaders in ensemble singing, to give voice to human experiences of all kinds and ignite the imagination of our audiences and artists. 

Mission

To deliver artistic and educational programmes that showcase the full expressive capacity of ensemble singing, foster a future for our art form in Australia and promote Canberra as a national centre of music and culture.

Values

  • Collaboration

    As ensemble singers, collaboration is at the heart of our artistic practice.

    We bring this approach to all aspects of our organisation, working closely with a wide range of artists, festivals, venues, community organisations, and businesses, and developing meaningful partnerships.

  • Excellence

    We strive for excellence and professionalism in everything we do, on and off the stage.

  • Relevance

    We use our voices to explore ideas and repertoire that reflect our world in all its variety and speak to issues of the day.

    Our programming and commissioning initiatives celebrate and challenge our time and place, and embrace Australia’s diversity.

    We strive to present programmes that connect with audiences, to tell stories that ensure ensemble singing and its vast history remains relevant and reflects our contemporary context.

  • Community

    We tell stories and present programmes that connect with our community and country.

    We promote access to and participation in music and singing, and foster a welcoming community of musicians and music-lovers.

  • Innovation

    We seek to present imaginative artistic programmes and educational opportunities.

    Our artistic practice embraces and enables experimentation and innovation.
