ANU Choral Society SCUNA is a non-auditioned choir that is open to students and alumni of the ANU, as well as anyone else who wants to join.

Our musical director for 2026 is Veronica Thwaites-Brown. Come and join ANU’s very own choir for great choral singing! We’re one of ANU’s oldest continuing societies - we’ve been going strong since 1961! We are non-auditioned and cater for all levels of experience - from those that love to sing in the shower to professionals! Among our members are students, staff, alumni, friends of the ANU, and m

embers of the wider Canberra community. We are currently rehearsing at ANU School of Music Lecture Theatre 3, with our fabulous conductor Veronica Thwaites-Brown as we prepare for a concert on the 15th November. If you’d like to know more about SCUNA, have questions about our plans this semester, or would like to be added to our weekly newsletter, e-mail us at [email protected].

We had a great rehearsal this morning, focussing on some tricky works in the lead up to our next concert:
- Bach Magnificat
- Handel Zadok the Priest
- Bach Dona Nobis Pacem
- Handel For Unto Us a Child is Born

We certainly improved during the session, especially on all those tricky runs....

If you missed this session, remember there is another Saturday rehearsal on 19 September, 11am-1pm, Lecture Room 3.

"From the opening Schubert setting of The Lord is My Shepherd the choir presented choral singing of high vocal quality with fine balance, excellent dynamic control and contrast, and pleasing clarity of diction," writes reviewer IAN McLEAN.
