The Buderim Male Choir is a community choir open to all men. Despite being non-auditioned, we aim to maintain a high standard and produce a distinctive performance voice based on a wide variety of traditional and modern pieces.

Our previous MD recently left to return to Melbourne, leaving the position of Music Director vacant. Expressions of interest from suitably experienced musicians are most welcome. This position may also suit a younger musician interested in developing their leadership and conducting skills.

Over the last 49 years, the Buderim Male Choir has played an important role in the Sunshine Coast Community which we would like to continue. We have mapped out and purchased music for several years to come. This program can change, but we would like to work with what we have as much as possible. Like many community organisations, member numbers are slightly down after Covid and we need to rebuild without sacrificing our unique history.

2024 will be our 50th Anniversary and we are planning to have celebratory concerts to showcase our unique contribution to the social fabric of the Sunshine Coast over the years. If you are interested in joining us to help celebrate the joy of Male Voice singing, please call Barry on 07 5456 1081 or Allan on 0428 115 535.
