A Chorus of Women

A Chorus of Women came into being when 150 women filled the Australian Parliament with the song "Lament" on 18 March 2003, the day Australia's intention to invade Iraq was announced.

We have been singing ever since. Like the ancient Greek chorus on which we model ourselves, we have commented on the events of our time. We try to listen to the wise course and seek to activate integrity and compassion in our communities.

Our presentations incorporate story, drama, dance and the visual arts to complement the songs. The material is original and responds to the issues that concern us - most recently climate change.

Based in Canberra, A Chorus of Women has taken productions to Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, and Bulgaria, and has participated in a number of local festivals.

A Chorus of Women released its first CD, 'Giving Voice' at the end of 2006 and has since released several singles. Click here for more information about our CD.
