This historic concert venue has just undergone three years of renovations and upgrades to meet the most exacting demands for a world-class concert venue. The concert will feature the magnificence of over 400 male voices on stage.
The power of the massed choirs will be easily matched and accompanied by the esteemed organist Peter Kneeshaw at the Town Hall pipe organ.
The MCAA are thrilled to announce Alpha Gregory as our Conductor for this year's Festival; hence the name Alpha's Males. The Warringah Concert Brass will be featured artists.
This year the Massed Choirs will be joined by the thrilling sound of the Warringah Concert Brass with its Musical Director John Saunders Jr.

Welcome to the Male Choirs Association of Australia (MCAA) web site. The MCAA was formed in 2007 by eleven male choirs in New South Wales and the ACT. These choirs wanted an organisation which would coordinate and organise male choral activities across Australia, arrange massed choir concerts, organise tours and to act to the mutual benefit of all member choirs. This Association will also promote social contact between member choirs through social and musical events. Are you a male choir in Australia? If so, pease contact us (see Join Us tab on the left) now and join in the fun and fellowship.
Member choirs are welcome to advertise their concerts and events on this site. Just send your information to Don Rose and it will be availble to view within 24-48 hours.
