Sadly, the Crèmeschnitte-Chörli met for the last rehearsal on the 28 May 2024, before it closed down due to funding issues affecting its long-term viability.
There are a few people who will continue in a Sing-along Group. For more information see Singing News.

The page below describes the activities of the Choir during its existence between 2007 and 2024.
The Canberra Swiss choir ‘Crèmeschnitte Chörli’ was a lively group of people who sang for fun. We were a mixed-voice choir (with parts for soprano, alto, tenor and bass), singing traditional songs in our four national languages. The choir performed regularly at Swiss Club functions, but we also reached out into the community and performed at nursing homes and at festive events. From time to time, we performed at concerts with Canberra’s German and Austrian choirs.
Rehearsals were held twice a month, on the second Tuesday and the fourth Tuesday of each month from 6:00pm to 7:30pm in the “Keller” of the Harmonie German Club, Narrabundah.
In 2020 we officially welcomed a new member of our choir, Annabelle Schweizer. With her wonderful voice she brought a new dimension to our choral performances.

Singing for fun kept us young!
