Welcome to the official website of the Choral Institute Melbourne (CHIME) Inc.

We are a non-profit and non-denominational organisation fostering the love of music in our community.

 At present we are an umbrella organisation supporting a number of choirs:

  • CHIME Senior Choir
  • CHIME Young Adult Choir
  • CHIME Touring Choir,
  • CHIME Special Events Choir, and
  • Australian Christmas Choir.

We are recognised as one of Melbourne's premiere choirs with numerous successes in local competitions.

Having conducted international tours every three to four years, the Choral Institute has also acquired international recognition. Since the mid-1980's we have toured to North America, Hong Kong, Japan, and Europe, most recently participating the the 1st and 3rd Choir Olympics.

"Building Excellence"

CHIME has been trying to build our male sections for years with a variety of success. We are taking a new approach to support the men we have and to attract quality choristers for the benefit of everyone.

CHIME is advertising that we will pay a number of Tenors, Baritones and Basses for this semester. Conditions apply.

If you are interested or know of possible applicants please email secretary@chime.org.au.

Congratulations to the thirty two that participated in our Italian Tour in early July.

The Montecatini Festival was a great success and the coach tour through Italy was some magnificent sights.

This was particularly special with CHIME contributing $30,000 in direct support of participating students.
