New members are warmly invited to join us in 2026. Our new year of singing starts on Tuesday 3 February 2026 at 7.30pm. There are no auditions, and no previous singing or performance experience is necessary.
The choir rehearses on Tuesday evenings (during ACT school terms) from 7.30 to 9.30pm at St Ninians Uniting Church, 150 Brigalow St (corner of Brigalow and Mouat Sts), Lyneham. View the Google map directions.
For prospective new members, please contact our Membership officer before you come - email member.enquiries@cyrenes.org.au - so that we can be ready to welcome you.
The choir welcomes any woman who wants to sing. Our current membership includes women from their twenties through to their 80s and from a range of backgrounds and experiences.
On this page, read about the many benefits of singing and check out our Listen to us page and our YouTube channel or our Facebook page.
Prospective members who come to a rehearsal will be given limited access to the members-only part of the Cyrenes’ website. After a two-week introductory period during which a prospective member can determine whether they wish to join the choir, new members are then expected to pay the annual membership fee and fees for the remainder of the term in which they join.
For more information about the choir, please read the summary of our governing rules. It gives an overview of the choir including our guiding principles, and information about rehearsals, fees, performances, and how the choir runs itself.
