It involves the creation of a 250-400 voice choir, is made up of community singers from across Australia, brought together for about ten weeks of rehearsals each year. It incorporates exciting songs and themes reflecting Australia's cultural diversity and culminates in a concert series at a prestigious Melbourne Venue, to an audience of about 2,000.
