Phoenix is an SATB community choir.
While we have many experienced singers, membership is open to anyone who is willing to learn. We provide online music resources and extra workshops and rehearsals, which are particularly helpful to those who do not read music and/or are discovering and developing their singing voice. Our members come from all walks of life and enjoy a friendly camaraderie that often extends beyond music making.
Our annual program varies, but in recent years it has included three performances of major works, the opening concert of the Blackheath Choir Festival in August, and carols at Christmas.
We focus on classical choral works, ranging from Baroque, through the Classical and Romantic era to contemporary pieces. We continue to expand our repertoire and vocal range and bring our music to ever widening audiences.
We offer some members the opportunity to sing more challenging music with our Chamber Choir. This smaller group of singers undertakes additional rehearsals, aiming for a high standard of performance. The Chamber Choir often sings a short a cappella section in some of our concerts. The additional discipline of singing without accompaniment helps to develop singers individually and improves the overall quality of singing in the choir.
We perform with professional soloists and instrumental groups ranging from a few instruments up to full orchestra. We stage our concerts throughout the upper mountains, and in Lithgow. We have occasionally sung as far afield as Bathurst in the west and in the lower Blue Mountains.
