The Hobart Orpheus Choir meets at the Salvation Army Citadel in Hobart, Tasmania every Monday from 7:30-9:30 pm, with the aim of singing together and enjoying music making. The Choir's repertoire comprises a wide range of works, including traditional, sacred and classical, as well as opera and operetta.
The Choir has been performing since it's establishment back in 1877, and is possibly Australia's oldest continuous choir.
Our mission is to present the Tasmanian community with quality performances of a broad range of choral music, and to provide a platform for aspiring young musicians.
New members are always welcome, but should have a basic knowledge of reading music and be able to hold a part. The Choir holds performances throughout the year, performs charity work and is also available for hire. See our What's Happening Next page for details of upcoming performances.
The Hobart Orpheus Choir is proudly a member of Australian National Choral Association (A.N.C.A).
Equipment Hire: The choir has a 50 person 3 tier choir stand/rostra/risers as well as items from our printed music collection available for hire.
