Victorian Trade Union Choir was formed in Melbourne in  1990 as part of a revival of trade union choirs throughout Australia. Traditionally, songs have played a vital role in progressive social movements worldwide, and we are maintaining and developing this tradition in Victoria.

We are a group of men and women union members who come together to sing. We see ourselves as belonging to the Victorian trade union movement, providing a musical voice to the union message. We sing in a capella style and hence are able to perform anywhere the voice of protest needs to be heard - in Melbourne or in regional Victoria.

In addition to traditional union songs, our repertoire includes songs of peace and freedom and some songs in Spanish, Italian and Tetum (the language of Timor Leste). We rehearse most Thursday evenings at Trades Hall (cnr. Victoria & Lygon Sts. Carlton) - why not join us?
