THE SYDNEY MALE CHOIR BE A PART OF HISTORY Ever since their inception the Sydney Male Choir has led the singing at the Anzac Day Dawn Service at the Cenotaph in Martin Place. Now, in their Centenary Year, 2013, the Choir has been asked to represent Australia at the service in Villers-Bretonneux, the Somme, France. This is a significant milestone in the history of the choir and we hope to be able to muster the best choir we can to honour this important event.
