THE SONG COMPANY

—

The Song Company belongs to a land whose first peoples have always used songlines and vocal music to pass knowledge and culture from one generation to another. As Australia's leading professional vocal ensemble, The Song Company is unique in its stylistic diversity with repertoire spanning the 9th century to today, and is led by international composer and conductor Antony Pitts. With an annual national touring season, The Song Company is at the forefront of both early music performance and contemporary vocal music through an extensive commissioning program and cross-artform collaborations with artists of the highest calibre from around the world.

Help The Song Company sing out across the country by donating now!

This is our 35th anniversary year and marks the beginning of a new chapter in Australian vocal music, building on the exciting collaborations of the last twelve months including contemporary Indigenous dance company Karul Projects, progressive metal Melbourne band The Omnific, and theatre director Leonie Cambage - as well as our national tours of a cappella music from the last thousand years right up to today's Australian composers.

The Song Company emerged from a period of administration earlier this year and needs the help of vocal and choral music-lovers more than ever before to make our business turnaround an Australian artistic success story for the next 35 years. Donations to The Song Company are tax-deductible, and in this year of all years are vital to our ability to continue to bring our unique voice across the country!

The Conservatorium High, secondary arm of the Conservatorium of Music, and The Song Company, Australia’s premier a cappella vocal ensemble, have great pleasure in announcing the establishment of an educational partnership which will see the Company working in close association with the School to support the pursuit of excellence in choral music performance and composition.

Over the past half-decade, under the direction of Réka Csernyik, the Con High has established a national reputation for the quality of its choral program. The school’s Chorale is the ensemble that has been chosen to perform at the investiture of the Governor-General on Monday, 1st July.

The partnership with The Song Company will build on this reputation providing specialist vocal coaching of choristers, mentoring of a cappella chamber ensembles, and tuition in vocal-music composition for students in the Composition Program. In short, The Song Company will complement the relationship the school enjoys with the performer-teachers on the tertiary side of the Conservatorium.

The Conservatorium High and The Song Company are as one in their commitment to educating and inspiring the next generation of musicians and music educators.
