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.
Did you love seeing Whoopi Goldberg turn a bunch of nuns into a dynamic “Sister Act”. Do you know the likes of Kirk Franklin, CeCe Winans, Israel Houghton and Fred Hammond? This this may just be the vocal group you can sink your teeth into.


Commencing in early 2019 rehearsing Wednesday evenings, this vocal ensemble will have access to some of Melbourne’s top musicians, producers and sound engineers recording covers of popular gospel artists as well as original tracks. The MC family is growing with two established campuses in Carlton and Macleod and MCYOUTH for teenagers. This new group MCGOSPEL is a spin on the successful MCC formula.


This auditioned vocal group will have a deliberate balance between male and females voices to produce a truely convincing gospel sound. We have already had a lot of inquiries about the group and are seeking expressions of interest from talented guys and girls now. This group will stretch you to achieve your vocal ambitions and provide ample opportunities for performance with a live band as well as studio recording sessions.


Successful applicants will be committed to the art of singing and continuous improvement. You will have experience in singing groups, ensembles, choirs or bands. You will have basic music reading ability, able to harmonise and have a good ear. You will have great stage presence and a good idea about microphone technique and able to perform effortlessly from memory.


Your audition will give opportunity for you to demonstrate your range, ability to pitch, harmonise and you will sing a prepared section of a gospel song of your choosing. If you love singing gospel, have a contemporary vocal and want to be part of something pretty special in the heart of Melbourne - get you application in today - places are limited.

Reviews of Melbourne Contemporary Choir's Performances

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!

​MARTEN VISSER

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'!

​​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!

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.
