Pop Up Choir – Canberra

Pop Up Choir is a great bunch of people coming together to sing a great bunch of songs, led by choral director Rachel Hore OAM. It’s fun, moving and inspiring.

We perform at various events in and around Canberra. We have sung at the High Court of Australia, the Museum of Australian Democracy, Parliament House and ANU –  as well as various pop-up performances at places like the National Folk Festival, Majors Creek Festival, conferences, fetes and markets. In 2023, Pop Up Choir performed at the Al Sole Della Sardegna International Choral Festival in Italy.
