St Mary's Cathedral Choir

St Mary's Cathedral Choir, under the direction of Elizabeth Swain, is Australia's oldest musical institution and dates its origins from a choir founded in 1818. Apart from singing a wide range of accompanied music, the choir (80 men and boys) is renowned for its performances of unaccompanied music.

The choir sings every Sunday (except January) at the 10:30am high mass. On a world tour in 1991 they gained acclaim wherever they performed particularly for their musicality and tonal colour.

The trebles consist of schoolboys on scholarship in years 5 to 8. The dedicated adult men volunteer their time for for rehearsals and mass on Sunday.
