New EP Release “OTHERS”
Now Available

"This second EP from Melbourne’s own ‘Choir of Choice’ - (MCCHOIR) sets a new standard in contemporary group singing and offers fresh, original tunes that will keep your ears and senses craving more"
Arranger/producer Jared Haschek produced this second EP for MCCHOIR called "Others" that has already received airplay and international interest from contemporary groups around the globe. The title track pays homage to Michael Jackson’s ‘We Are The World’ with its sing-along lyric that encourages the listener to ‘make a change’. Featuring guest artist Rod Davies, who has worked with some of Australia’s leading talent (John Farnham, Olivia Newton John and Delta Goodrem) and now brings his unforgettable vocal to this latest MCCHOIR project.
It makes sense that all of the musicians—lead guitarist Gavin Chan, drummer Mike Webber, Keyboardist extraordinaire Jared Haschek and bassist Spike Avery—are all from Melbourne, Australia. The band are complimented by a live string and horn section which lifts the production level of this album off the charts. The group of vocalists that make up MCCHOIR add their signature, high energy vocals under the direction of Jason Simmonds and its a sure recipe for success.
Few choir based albums (or groups) have been met with such a warm reception. The first three years of the group has seen tremendous growth and back-to-back sold out concerts across Melbourne. On the heels of their pioneering recording ‘Time To Shine’, MCCHOIR is shaking up the group singing genre, setting a new standard in original works for contemporary vocal ensembles.

GROUP SINGING IN MELBOURNE WITH PERFORMANCES THAT DEMONSTRATE EXCELLENCE

An amazing group of singers! Authentic, passionate, committed and they make a very convincing, contemporary choral sound! Get around these guys - they're making super music and having heaps of fun on the way!

The Geelong Cats Carji Greeve’s Medal Awards night at Crown Palladium was really one to remember for me.

I'm so glad I got to be a part of it with you all. I love when everything just falls into place! Everyone had the time of their life and the evening was just a massive success.

My producer and I were well impressed by your own drive and dedication. Managing a team requires such true leadership skills you have in spades!

You and the MCCHOIR gang really made the experience so enjoyable for me. You're all such lovely warm fun people as if sounding great just wasn't enough!

Much love everyone!

​​To celebrate Lululemon's first year partnering with Sole Motive for Run Melbourne, our vision was to create on course entertainment that was high-energy, uplighting and motivating. Jason and the Melbourne Contemporary Choir took our brief on board and delivered a diverse and inspiring set list that connected with the runners competing in the event. The joy and delight on the faces of those passing by was priceless. The Melbourne Contemporary Choir were impressive not only in their professionalism, but in their passion and commitment to their performance. We can't wait for the chance to work with the MCCHOIR again in the future!

It was great having Melbourne Contemporary Choir involved at the MCG as part of Mastercard's "Barbie Army" launch. They brought a lot of enthusiasm and were there in great voice for two long days. There were a couple of die-hard cricket fans, who really made the difference and demonstrated how much these guys really care about what they do. Everyone was great to work with and certainly made an impact in a venue as big as the 'G'!

What Our Singers are Saying

High quality leadership and just the best group of people - diverse age range and come from all over the place to be part of MCCHOIR's great sound. How fabulous to work through each of the parts of a new original song and be able to sound awesome when the parts come together on the same night. Performances have been varied and exhilarating experiences.

JACQUE ROSS
I attended last night and felt so welcomed. Such a beautiful bunch of friendly people who really know how to sing and have fun! I signed up immediately and am looking forward to what is ahead.
