Canberra Harmony Chorus is an inclusive community choir that brings together women from all walks of life to share the joy of singing barbershop a cappella—four-part harmony performed without backing music. Beyond creating beautiful music, the chorus fosters connections among its members, promoting physical and mental well-being through the shared experience of singing.

The Chorus shares its love of music with the wider community, regularly performing at nursing homes, retirement residences, and local events. Each year, they bring holiday cheer to Canberra through Christmas carol performances at concerts and shopping centers.

As a member of Barbershop Harmony Australia, the Chorus benefits from a network that promotes a cappella singing through education and competition. Over the years, Canberra Harmony has joined choruses from around the country for events and competitions in Hobart, New Zealand, and the Gold Coast for competitions and educational activities.

Through their partnership with the Canberra Southern Cross Club, Canberra Harmony Chorus has been able to access funding to hire a singing and performance coach for workshops. These workshops provide members with valuable training to enhance their vocal and performance techniques. The Community Rewards Program also helped them reduce the financial burden on members by covering costs for educational activities and training sessions. This partnership allows the Chorus to focus on their music and performances rather than fundraising efforts, empowering them to create more meaningful connections within the community through their music.

Recently, the Chorus introduced live-streamed rehearsals on Tuesday evenings, ensuring members who can’t attend in person stay connected and up-to-date. They’re always excited to welcome new voices—so if you love singing a cappella in four-part harmony, Canberra Harmony Chorus might be the perfect fit for you.
