This week catch up with how you sounded at the Open Rehearsal on Gadigal Land in Sydney, led by conductor Emily Irvine and her choir Inner West Voices.
Next week, Christie Anderson and the Young Adelaide Voices lead you through the last Open Rehearsal of the year, and she explains why she loves choirs so much and what to expect from her rehearsal.
Classical soprano Jordie Howell also introduces you to another inclusive choir as part of her ongoing series of stories about singing ahead of International Day of People with Disability.
Classic Choir is back in 2023 and this year, every week you can tune in to the Classic Choir Hour (7pm Thursdays) to hear the latest on how to get your choir involved while listening to a golden playlist of your choral favourites and new sung surprises.
