The Australian Rugby Choir ('ARC') was formed in 1996 to sing at ACT Brumbies Rugby home matches on commencement of the southern hemisphere Super Rugby competition. Today the choir performs widely at community, ceremonial and sporting events in and around the ACT, with 2026 performances at the ACT Multicultural Festival, Anzac Day at Bungendore, Brumbies home games, Light Up Lyneham festival, and Floriade. In 2024 the choir sang the national anthem at the Australia/Wales rugby test in Sydney, and in 2025 performed a joint concert with the touring British & Irish Lions Choir in the Sydney Opera House.
The ARC is excited to present its 30th Anniversary Concert, the latest in a series of regular major concerts dating back to 2005. The concert will feature a mix of traditional and contemporary repertoire, sung in four part male voice which provides a rich and harmonious sound.
Come along and experience this truly wonderful afternoon of song, followed by afternoon tea.
Musical Director: Shilong Ye; Piano Accompanist: Karen Da Silva
If you are interested in joining the choir, our Come & Try nights give you an opportunity feel what it's like being part of a male voice choir. You will have the opportunity to explore your vocal range and see which voice part might suit. You will also see how the choir learns new songs, practises singing, and rehearses for performance. Come at about 7pm to introduce yourself and meet the other members and musical staff.
Please register your interest on Humanitix at Come & Try 22 October or Come & Try 29 October to receive any event updates.
