Through direct contact with these musicians and composers, we hope to increase our choristers' understanding of what music is and how can be made, and to enthuse and inspire them through a wide variety of musical role models.
The Sydney Children's Choir's is dedicated to commissioning and performing works by contemporary Australian composers. In this way, SCC has greatly increased the previously limited canon of works available for children's choirs.
The Sydney Children's Choir performs songs from around the world, singing in languages as diverse as Finnish, Chinese, French, Hungarian, Bulgarian, Ancient Greek, Swedish, and of course English.
