The Australian Hwa Sheng Chorus was founded in 1976. It was the first established Chinese choir in Sydney. They are a mixed four-part choir; they sing traditional Chinese folk songs, artistic styled songs and strict religious songs as a selection list. One reason for the establishment of this choir is to cultivate overseas Chinese sentiment and promote the Chinese culture, in order to maintain “cultural heritage”. In recent years, they have also sung some catchy popular pop songs with graceful moods, which captures the audience and shows some excellent concert effects. Karl Yang is the director of the Chorus Association of China, the member of the Australian National Choral Association , and the director of the Australia Chinese Musicians Association.
