Under the direction of founding conductor Margot McLaughlin, Coro Austral is an auditioned chamber choir which performs 13th to 21st century music from Spanish and Portuguese speaking countries as well as treasured choral music from around the world.
Formed in 2010, it has introduced much previously little-known choral music to Australian audiences. In 2017 Coro Austral toured Cuba to great acclaim, and in April 2022 it gave the first Australian performance of Martín Palmeri’s Misa Tango.
