You might think you know how a choir sounds? This is the show that will make you think again. Hosted by DAVID KOCH, BATTLE OF THE CHOIRS sees 16 community choirs from around Australia stand and deliver. Prepare to hear what you’ve never heard before - songs you never thought a choir could sing, as our choirs try to impress the most critical ears in the land.

Tenor, choirmaster and founder of The Choir of Hard Knocks, JONATHON WELCH; Australian music icon IVA DAVIES; entertainer and actress CHARLI DELANEY; and one of Australia’s most sought after choral conductors GEORGE TORBAY form the expert judging panel on BATTLE OF THE CHOIRS.

The four judges will have full say on who makes it through each round of the knockout competition with two choirs eventually going head-to-head in the Grand Final.

Gospel, barbershop, classical, pop, a cappella, jazz, soul – all genres of choir are represented, but it's personality, passion, power and performance they’ll need to make it past the judges when they’re challenged to perform songs from the likes of Powderfinger, Kylie Minogue, Meatloaf, Rihanna, Kiss, AC/DC, Scissor Sisters, Queen, Michael Jackson, Christina Aguilera, Stevie Wonder, Pink and more.

The winning choir will be awarded $100,000, plus they’ll get to record an album for Universal Music.
