PURPOSE:
1. To build a professional level singing group offering a unique ‘classical’ musical experience to audiences in the Moreton Bay Region and beyond.
2. To provide an opportunity for local singers and musicians to nurture and showcase their talents through membership and collaboration.
HISTORY:
Formed in 2021, the Bel Canto Singers is a small vocal ensemble based in the City of Moreton Bay.
The group quickly established a reputation for musical excellence, with early performances at the 2022 and 2023 Moreton Bay Anywhere Festivals receiving enthusiastic acclaim and helping to build a loyal following. In 2024, they presented their first independent concert, Time Passes… Love Remains, to high critical praise.
The ensemble reached another milestone in 2025 with an ambitious performance of Gabriel Fauré’s Requiem, presented in collaboration with local instrumentalists and a school choir — a project that reflected the group’s commitment to artistic depth and community engagement.
In 2026, Bel Canto Singers will expand their artistic horizons by exploring the classical jazz genre, with a collaborative performance alongside jazz musicians planned for later in the year.
A much-loved tradition of the ensemble is their annual invitation to perform Christmas Carols, where audiences are delighted by their intimate interpretations of sacred and folk harmonies.
In 2025, the group formally became an incorporated association and is currently progressing toward full charitable status.
REPERTOIRE:
Bel Canto Singers’ repertoire spans classical and contemporary classical works, thoughtfully blending well-loved pieces with more complex and distinctive compositions.
Specialising in intimate performance settings, the ensemble is known for its pure harmonies, refined musicianship, and polished, professional sound — creating concerts that are both moving and memorable.
