They seek to harness the quality of male singing voice and the repertoire chosen for performance is designed to showcase this unique sound. We sing in a variety of styles, often in four-part harmony, including tenor, baritone and bass, and in various styles including opera, jazz and popular. We sing in English as well as in other languages from other cultures, having performed songs in French, Latin, German, Italian, Zulu, Welsh and Aboriginal languages.

The Musical Director is Leanne McKean. Leanne is an experienced opera singer and conductor who has worked with a variety of community, school and chamber choirs. Our piano accompanist, Tim Allan, is also an accomplished pianist with a wide and varied repertoire.

The Harmonie Choir Canberra is a mixed choir (SATB) that concentrates on a wide-ranging German-language repertoire.

It has a core of native German speakers but welcomes all who are interested in singing in German. As a non-auditioned choir it does not require members to have the ability to read music or to have a knowledge of German. Plenty of help is available to newcomers in both respects. Although the Choir has had a reduced rehearsal schedule during 2016, it expects to resume a weekly program of rehearsals in 2017, on Mondays from 5.30 to 7.00 p.m.

The Harmonics are a cultural folk band that formed to fill a musical void in the Club.

Used for many Club functions and special occasion the Harmonics gives the Club some cultural significance and proudly represents the Harmonie German Club with traditional folk music.

The Band currently boasts 3 Accordions, 1 Tuba, 1 Clarinet, 1 Flute and 2 Guitar players.

We are looking to expand the Harmonics and are looking for people who are still playing an instrument or have not played for some time but would like to get into playing again.

It does not matter how well you play or which instrument you play, as we can transpose individual pieces to suite your instrument.

Given that the band plays a lot of German folk music, a drummer and or any brass instrument would be very welcome.

We generally rehearse on Mondays at the Harmonie German Club in Narrabundah from 6pm to 7:30pm

One of our aims is to support family-friendly venues throughout the Capital Region that nurture and support local amateur and professional blues musicians.

The Canberra Blues Society also aims to provide regular music jams, blues events and blues-related social activities for the enjoyment of its members.

We seek to establish an environment that will both educate and showcase blues music, blues music culture and the blues spirit to the wider community. We also hope to be a regular meeting place for people to become involved with others with similar musical interests.

We invite you to explore this site to find out more about the society and the blues!
