Vale Roy Wales

Roy Wales conducting Chorale in 2017
It is with much sadness that we share the news that Brisbane Chorale’s founder and patron Roy Wales BEM passed away recently at his home in the UK, surrounded by his family.
We owe our very existence to Roy, and those of us who remember his time with us treasure the memory of his humour, his inspirational enthusiasm as a choral director, and his vision for us as a new and enduring musical force in Brisbane and beyond. 
His mark on choral music in Australia, made many years ago now, is indelible and ongoing. We are proud and grateful to continue to express his vision, in every rehearsal and every performance.

War Requiem video

Available now on our YouTube channel, the video of our performance of Benjamin Britten’s War Requiem recorded in September 2023 in the Concert Hall of the Queensland Performing Arts Centre.

Also appearing with Brisbane Chorale were the Brisbane Philharmonic Orchestra, Ensemble Q, Canticum Chamber Choir, the Voices of Birralee, and our three fabulous soloists: Eva Kong, Andrew Goodwin, and Hadleigh Adams, with our conductor Simon Hewett.

What people have been saying...

"The concert was fabulous. This was our third 'Joyful Noise' and did not disappoint"
Celia Canning, FacebookJoyful Noise 2023
"Quite an extraordinary performance - many goose-bump moments. So glad the Concert Hall was full to witness this Brisbane Festival highlight!"
Sarah Daly, FacebookWar Requiem, 2023
"Equally as impressive was the Brisbane Chorale, trained by Music Director Emily Cox, who contributed strongly to the overall success of the Gala."

"The beautiful Humming Chorus was delicately played by the orchestra and touchingly sung by the female members of the Chorale"
Suzanna Conway, Limelight MagazineOpera Gala, 2022
"Congratulations for an outstanding performance of “The Armed Man: A Mass for Peace”. The visual drama of the Brisbane City hall was matched by the outstanding drama of this amazing choir and orchestra. For people who think that choirs aren’t their cup of tea, think again. This group packs all of the punch of an outstanding movie, with music and a message that carries with you long after the event."
Mark GoughThe Armed Man, 2021
"It was simply stunning, spine tingling in places (the ad lib charge!), very poignant in others. Wonderful collaboration of all elements, under the expressive hands and baton of Emily. Perfection of tone and blend from the choir and the movement of singers around the stage added to the atmosphere. Soloists wonderful too. A dramatic and evocative piece performed superbly. Thank you for a great concert!"
Glenys CoulterThe Armed Man, 2021
"It was a wonderful and very moving performance. I thoroughly enjoyed every moment."
Valerie TowersThe Armed Man, 2021
