The First Boîte Schools Chorus performs Flight at Hamer Hall

On the 1^st of June 2004, (marking 25 years since the first Boîte concert in Melbourne) The Boîte staged the inaugural Boîte Schools Chorus, an adaptation of Flight performed by the Millennium Chorus in 2002. The concert brought 300 students from 17 schools across Victoria to the stage at Hamer Hall, to perform songs exploring refugee issues in Victoria, alongside professional artists, to an audience of their families and peers.

Since 2004, the Boîte Schools Chorus has remained an enduring feature of The Boîte program and has engaged thousands upon thousands of students in an inclusive, un-auditioned musical experience that builds confidence and broadens their horizons and supports the development of performance and inter-personal skills.
