The choir's origins trace back to 1974 when its founder, Mr. Bill Forrest, attended an international Clarinet Symposium in Sydney. There, he was inspired by a clarinet choir formed by renowned American teacher Mitchell Lurie. Moved by the beauty of the ensemble’s sound, Bill set out to establish a permanent clarinet choir in Australia—one that was independent of schools or universities, ensuring that musicians from all walks of life could participate and share their love of music.
