Awards
One of the chief reasons Melbourne Chorus attracts members is its high standard of achievement in the Barbershop art form, and its fine history of success, not only in Sweet Adelines but also in the general choral arena.
As members of the Australian National Choral Association (ANCA) we have had opportunities to compete in prestigious choral events and more than once accepted the trophy as champion chorus.
