Celebrating 10 years of outstanding choral music in 2008, Concordis has established itself firmly as one of Australia's finest choral ensembles. Since the first tentative meeting of school leavers in 1998, Concordis Chamber Choir has grown into a group of 40 young men and women auditioned from across Melbourne and regional Victoria. Several foundation members still sing with the choir, and rehearsals have helped sustain the bonds of many friendships over a decade of music making. The choir holds three concerts annually, tours regularly both regionally and nationally, and throughout the year gives numerous other performances at choral festivals and competitions where they have achieved extraordinary success over the years.

The choir's repertoire is eclectic and personal; deliberately diverse in an effort to demonstrate that choirs do not have to limit themselves to performing only one style of music. The music of Australian composers is an important emphasis for Concordis, with a special place in their repertoire also kept for the music of assistant director, accompanist and now established Australian composer Nicholas Buc. Along the way however the choir has also developed a great fondness for the music of many international composers, and cherishes it's reputation for diversity of repertoire as well as excellence in performance.

Musical highlights from ten years of singing include acclaimed performances of the Mozart Requiem and Great Mass in C minor with Pro-Musica Chamber Orchestra, performances in the state and national finals of the ABC Choir of the Year competition, appearances on ABC TV's Spicks & Specks Christmas Special with Dame Edna Everage, Sunday Arts, and numerous state and national radio broadcasts.

As a celebration of 10 years, in 2008 Concordis released its second CD entitled Journey, which contains 13 all-time favourite works that have been repeatedly requested by our audiences. Variety truly is the spice of life; thus we trust that these works will be an inspirational record of ten years of challenging, but incredibly rewarding work in the building of a respected Australian choral ensemble. The music reflects many joys and tears, lifelong friendships, but most importantly, an enduring musical bond shared between a myriad of fine singers.

The founder and Artistic Director of Concordis is Andrew Hunter and the Assistant Director, accompanist and Composer in Residence is Nicholas Buc.
