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. We acknowledge and respect those traditions and are honoured to work together with Indigenous creative artists as part of our artistic mission.
As Australia’s national vocal ensemble, The Song Company demonstrates international excellence and brings together the country’s elite voices in innovative performances, artist development, and educational outreach. Led by internationally-renowned composer and conductor Antony Pitts as Artistic Director, The Song Company is at the forefront of historically informed early music performance, contemporary vocal art music, and cross-artform collaborations. The Song Company is unique in its stylistic diversity, presenting repertoire spanning the 9th century to new commissions in small- and large-scale ensemble and solo performances across multiple genres.
The Song Company comprises eight Principal Artists, Guest Artists from across the country, a wider collective of Associate Artists, the SongCo Apprentices, and a consort of emerging Ensemble Artists mentored by Associate Artistic Director Francis Greep. Together, we are reshaping the professional vocal landscape in Australia for today and the next generation.
