The Australia Good Friends Chamber Choir was founded in May 2005. It is the first salon-style music group in the Chinese community. It was founded by the well known Chinese baritone Xiaoqiang Jin, mezzo-soprano Annie Brent, pianist Vivian Chen and music editor Yitai Zhou, together with conductor Karl Yang. The leadership is comprised of musical experts from China, and serves as a sounding board and platform for locally based artists. Within the space of five years, the group has accomplished duet, trio, and quartet to a professional level, singing world famous songs.
The Australia Good Friends Chamber Choir has performed highly successful concerts every year in Zenith Theatre, The Independent Theatre, and the Verbrugghen Hall in Sydney Conservatorium of Music. In 2008 and 2009 it also received warm welcomes from the audience in Gosford NSW. In April 2009, The Australia Good Friends Chamber Choir was invited to perform a concert in Auckland New Zealand. Getting a successful concert overseas was yet another big achievement for us all.
