The Song Company

The Song Company is Australia’s national vocal ensemble – an elite chamber vocal ensemble demonstrating international excellence and bringing together the country’s finest voices in innovative performances, artist development, educational outreach and collaborative music-making. Unique in its stylistic diversity with repertoire spanning the 9th century to today, and led by internationally-renowned composer and conductor, Antony Pitts as Artistic Director, The Song Company is at the forefront of scholarly early music performance, of contemporary vocal music through an extensive commissioning program begun in the late 1980s, and of cross-artform collaborations with artists of the highest calibre from across Australia and around the world. The Song Company comprises eight Principal Artists, as well as Guest Artists from across the country who are established soloists and musical leaders in their own right, with a wider collective of Associate Artists made up of familiar and emerging voices, and at the heart, a consort of four Ensemble Artists mentored by Associate Artistic Director, Francis Greep. The Song Company is reshaping the professional vocal landscape in Australia for today and the next generation.
