Established in 1998 as the Sydney Byzantine Choir under choirmaster George Combis, and with the blessing of Archbishop [[Stylianos (Harkianakis) of Australia|Stylianos]], the Australian [[Byzantine ]] Choir currently consists of 22 young Greek Australian chanters, and is devoted to the dissemination and study of traditional Byzantine chanting in Australia.

The aims of the choir are numerous: to train chanters for Greek Orthodox parishes; to celebrate major services, such as vigils, sacraments and parish patronal celebrations; and charitible work. The first is accomplished through the [[School of Byzantine Music (SAGOTC)|School of Byzantine Music]], where two of the teachers are key members of the choir, and its charitable work is done primarily through concerts where all proceeds are donated to a specific cause (such as the Orthodox Mission in [[Madagascar]]).
