Calling All Schools! The Boite Schools Chorus 2025 is here, and this year, we're taking you on an unforgettable musical journey with Ma Fali Eh: Songs and Stories of Timor-Leste!
The Boîte Schools Chorus is an un-auditioned choir project for schools and community youth choirs. Since 2004 the Boîte Schools Chorus has involved over 9000 students from across Victoria in 42 concerts in Melbourne, Frankston, Ballarat, Bairnsdale & Albury. The Boite Schools Chorus project invites students into a new world through song, builds confidence, broadens horizons and develops valuable performance and interpersonal skills.
Each year the chorus focuses on a different cultural theme.
This year, we're taking you on an unforgettable musical journey with Ma Fali Eh: Songs and Stories of Timor-Leste.
