Vivaldi's Gloria: Coronation Choir 2026
Coronation Choir returns in 2026 with Vivaldi's Gloria
Saturday 20 & Sunday 21 June
Walsh Bay Arts Precinct
Coronation Choir returns in 2026 with one of the most uplifting works in
the choral repertoire: Vivaldi’s Gloria.
Over two days at The Song Company’s waterfront home at Walsh Bay, singers of all backgrounds are invited to come together, rehearse, and share in the experience of making music as a choir.
Led by Roland Peelman - whose decades at the helm of The Song Company helped define choral singing in Australia - this is a rare chance to step inside the ensemble and sing alongside its artists.
You’ll rehearse and perform together, building towards a shared performance of Vivaldi’s Gloria and Lotti's Crucifixus a 8 at the end of the weekend.
Whether you’re a seasoned chorister or simply love to sing, Coronation Choir offers a welcoming and energising environment to immerse yourself in great music, meet fellow singers, and experience the thrill of choral singing at its best.
No auditions. Just bring your voice.
