ARCappella - The choir of ARC About ARCappella: Information about the choir Choir Members: The who is who of the choir

ARC's choir first appeared at the Darebin Festival, Edwards Lake Family Day in 1997. It officially became ARCappella - the four part a cappella unaccompanied choir of ARC in 2000. Community choirs and the benefits of community singing have become popular around Melbourne over the past few years, because they provide a non traditional recreational activity and allow individuals to feel part of something bigger; and connected to their local environment, promoting a sense of health and well-being.

ARCappella is renowned for its diverse repertoire that includes everything from the Beatles, African spirituals, to pop songs & musical numbers and of course Christmas carols (and we're always open for new repertoire suggestions!). The only rule is it must be a cappella. Our performances range from community events such as music festivals and eisteddfods, to wineries, aged care facilities, weddings, birthdays and a range of Christmas events.

ARCappella now has a page on the City of Darebin's Community Portal
