“And Sydney Chamber Choir has many qualities worthy of celebration: above all their excellence, their sense of community and belonging, and their fearless embrace of Australian music. … today that legacy felt alive and thriving. Here’s to the next 50!

“This wasn’t just a gala concert, it was a portrait of the choir as an artistic force: an Australian icon deeply connected to its time and place. What a milestone! Here’s to another 50 years of bold and colourful music-making.”

"This is a milestone year for Sydney Chamber Choir as it celebrates its 50th birthday. Now a rewarding and well-patronised institution in our city and country, SCC continues to show tremendous range and innovation in its programming.  The latest concert, Fauré Requiem showed off the choir’s considerable versatility, support of new and historical Australian music as well as its solid background as early music interpreters."

“Sydney Chamber Choir’s People’s Choice concert was a celebration of the rich choral repertoire, featuring a diverse selection of popular favourites as voted by the choir’s loyal audience.

The choral sound under artistic director Sam Allchurch was perfectly blended yet texturally clear, elucidating the details of each score. The ensemble was unified and the intonation pure, notwithstanding one or two exposed moments.”
