"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.”

“Under the helm of Sam Allchurch, the Sydney Chamber Choir with guest narrator John Gaden AO reading from letters and poetry, our spirits were lifted with 90 minutes of choral splendour on a sunny Spring afternoon in Goulburn. … The SCC are expert in their ability to sing as one, with precise phrasing, intonation (particularly with the many dissonances heard today), dynamics and diction, and a joy in their communication with the audience. Today’s performance was flawless, prepared, and joyful.”

“What then unfolded was a truly breathtaking and immersive encounter, as this world-class chamber choir presented a stunning collection of splendidly sung musical gems. Each piece was a tour de force, expertly crafted and executed with precision and passion. From the soaring highs to the lush lows, every note was sung with exquisite skill and expertise. It was a moving experience. Equally powerful, personal and intimate.”
