AFTER HOURS - Episode 5 - Divisi Chamber Singers

AFTER HOURS is a music series that features an eclectic range of musicians performing in iconic locations at the University of Melbourne‘s Parkville campus.

ARTIST INFO
For the final episode of the year, AFTER HOURS is thrilled to showcase the talent of chamber vocal ensemble Divisi performing this evocative live set. Filmed in the architecturally stunning Melbourne School of Design, Divisi’s voices swell, soar and fill the space with precise and powerful harmony.

Divisi is a chamber vocal ensemble with a focus on the career development of its members, and of other Australian creatives. They strive to break down established norms of classical music through commissioning and performing innovative creative works and projects. Due to the relative lack of queer representation in classical music, they maintain a special interest in initiatives that elevate local LGBTQ+ artists and in pushing boundaries within the largely conservative medium of classical music performance.
