Regarding The choir in general
The Darwin Chorale is a choir of excellence. A choir of volunteers who really love singing and performing. I am indeed honoured to be your Patron. When Dr Dean Patterson founded the Darwin Chorale in 1985, he envisaged a community choir of excellence. His vision has been achieved and sustained. Over the past 37 years a program true to the Chorale's vision of inclusivity, creativity and high-performance standards has been provided for the enjoyment of our communities.
