Coro Austral is a Sydney-based auditioned chamber choir. Our repertoire of Spanish, Portuguese and Latin American music ranges across all the well-known "Western mainstream classical" forms from 13th century to the present, as well as music from many popular, contemporary and folkloric traditions.
With our 10th Anniversary this year, there are several opportunities for singers and audience members to become more involved with Coro Austral.

Concert 1: Come & Sing! - Misa Criolla - POSTPONED
Due to the extraordinary circumstances arising from the COVID-19 pandemic, we have decided that the Come & Sing - Misa Criolla event scheduled for Saturday 18th April should be postponed to later in the year. In this, we are acting on recommendations from the Australian government and health departments that organisations should consider social distancing among other measures to reduce risk for ourselves and for others.
We will update this website once we have finalised details for a performance later in the year.

Concert 2: Bach To Brazil
Sunday 6 September, Glebe Town Hall, St Johns Rd. Glebe
Featuring works inspired by Spanish or Latin American music, and vice versa, this is really a thinly-veiled excuse for our Artistic Director to get to do some Bach, who was an inspiration to many musicians, including Brazil's Heitor Villa Lobos. It will be a wide-ranging program, covering many countries and eras, showcasing some of the fabulous music that now exists on the intersection of Hispanic and mainstream Western traditions.
