Welcome to our choir
After so many Zoom practices and no concerts in 2021, 2022 has proven to be a good year for singing, except for Covid impacting choir members. To date we have had three concerts in retirement villages and one public concert. Four more retirement village concerts are scheduled, along with two more public concerts.
On Sunday, 30th October, at 2.30pm at the Town Hall we will be joining other male choirs in the “Friendship in Song” festival – over 200 voices!. Click HERE for information about the concert and obtaining tickets.
After 2 years of postponements, the Male Choir Association of Australia (MCAA) Festival will go ahead on Sunday, 30 October in the Sydney Town Hall.
We are enjoying a harmonious and successful year of singing in 2022 and would welcome new choristers to the choir. If you are interested, click the Contacts tab for more information.

About us
Our philosophy
Concerts
The successful Ku-Ring-Gai Male Choir is one of the oldest performing male voice choirs in Australia.
Founded by ex-servicemen following the Second World War, the choir has been in harmony since 1946 and today has 40 performing members.
The choir is currently under the musical direction of Dr Paul Whiting and accompanied by Hank Xiang.
The choir would like to acknowledge the generous support of Ku-ring-gai Council.
The members of Ku-Ring-Gai Male Choir are brought together with the common desire of making music, coupled with social interaction.
We are a non-audition choir and new members are always welcome; we do not ask that you sing like a professional, and the ability to read music is not required but would be helpful.
All that is required is a love of music and the commitment to attend the majority of rehearsals.
The Ku-Ring-Gai Male choir has a full annual concert schedule held at retirement villages around the North Shore, with a number of special concerts that are held in larger venues and that attract hundreds of spectators.
All retirement village concerts are conducted in aid of our supported charities. The choir is always interested in talking to prospective venues; if you would like to talk to us about the choir performing at your venue please email us at info@kuringgaimalechoir.org.au
