““Polyphonic Voices sings with particularly impressive verve and polish ... [and their] lovely tone and precision made them a definite favourite.””
Polyphonic Voices is a Melbourne-based chamber choir
under the artistic direction of Michael Fulcher.
Since its inception in 2013, the choir has become renowned for its polished, innovative, and engaging performances in non-traditional concert venues.
Polyphonic Voices presents a wide variety of music – both accompanied and unaccompanied – from the classical choral tradition, but also arrangements of music from jazz, pop, folk and other alternative genres. The choir has collaborated with many outstanding conductors, composers, and ensembles, including the Grammy Award-winning composer and conductor Eric Whitacre, the Melbourne Chamber Orchestra, the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, and the Hilltop Hoods to name a few. Polyphonic Voices has also had the privilege of commissioning and premiering a number of works by leading Australian composers such as Joseph Twist.
““These are clearly some seriously experienced singers, the kind who can instinctively communicate with one another with an almost terrifying exactness. I particularly enjoyed the mass of sound produced by the ensemble, one where the singers still embraced the individual colour of their voices…””

Reviews
“The crowd is silent, the sopranos soaring, the skulls watching over all. The work itself was astounding enough, but with voices like these it is breathtaking.”
