\n\nMission Statement
\n\nChoral Connection is an auditioned SATB community chamber choir with a membership of 35 singers. The choir enjoys performing music representing a variety of musical styles from renaissance madrigals to jazz, multicultural and contemporary compositions. Whilst many choir members are not professional musicians, the group wishes to create and maintain a high standard of choral performance and offer a special musical experience to the residents of Brisbane. Although the primary focus is on making good music come to life, we recognise that there is a very important social element to choral singing and hence the inclusion of Connection in our name.
