The South Australian branch was the first branch of The Royal School of Church Music to be formed in Australia around 1944, chaired by Canon Horace Percy (HP) Finnis as “Australian Representative”. St Peter’s College, Adelaide was the first choir in Australia affiliated to the RSCM in 1931, followed by St Peter’s Cathedral, Adelaide, in 1932. The committee is based in Adelaide.
News
Yes- it’s our turn to host an Inspires festival! Sing a new song – a living tradition
Keep the dates 2nd October to 5th October 2026 free! We’re still finalising details, but our plan is to have services run by the DOM in several different denominations.
Our focus will be on composing. Encouraging people to compose, and how to get your music published, and we’re hoping to commission some works.
Lots of good music. Lots of good times.
Events – please see the Calendar
If your church is planning something – let us know – we’ll add it to the Calendar. Spread the word!
