Melbourne Contemporary Choir
​Studio Recording 2022

Melbourne Contemporary Choir invites Melbourne singers and vocalists to be a part of our exciting new Studio Recording project in 2022 following on from the hugely successful Live Album 'MCCCHOIR LIVE' and our well received EP 'Others'. MCCHOIR's growing catalogue of original songs really sets us apart from other cover bands and choirs and is part of the reason so many of our singers enjoy the experience of singing together. There's something quite unique about creating an original piece of work and being able to share that with your family and friends.

We will be partnering with some of Melbourne's finest musicians including members of the MSO who will be providing some gorgeous live string settings of our songs. Our co-writer Jared Haschek will be overseeing the production together with Aria Award winning Engineer Phil Threlfall from the Bass Recording Studio in South Melbourne.

The original songs we will be recording for the EP are:
"Road Not Taken" based on the beautiful Robert Frost Poem
"Here For The Long Run" which some of you did a virtual recording for last year and
"Reality" which was written for the Australian Open some years ago
