Schools Spectacular

Core choir – participants info 2024

The student core choir is made up of approximately 30 talented choristers in Years 7 to 12 from NSW Public Schools who provide the basis for the choral sound of the Schools Spectacular. Students are auditioned individually and need to be experienced at singing in ensembles and holding both basic and complex vocal parts within an ensemble setting. Students should discuss their intention to apply with a contact teacher at their school.
