    Adelaide Vocal Union

    A cappella man band (SA)

    Adelaide Vocal Union was formed in 2015 by Artistic Director Cameron DuRieu as an open space for men to sing, develop strong musicianship, and build genuine camaraderie. Bringing together singers aged from their 30s through to their 70s, AVU combines musical discipline with a relaxed, inclusive culture built on connection and shared experience. 

    Performing across Australia in concerts, festivals, and competitions, the group is known for tight harmony, confident stage presence, and an approach to a cappella that feels modern and accessible. In 2024, AVU made its first appearance at Hobart’s Festival of Voices, delivering twelve performances across five days in venues including St David’s Cathedral, MONA, and Hobart Town Hall. 

    AVU regularly collaborates with leading ensembles such as the award-winning Festival Statesmen and High Spirits Harmony. 

    Positioned between a vocal ensemble and a grown-up boy band, grey hairs and all, Adelaide Vocal Union delivers musical excellence with warmth, humour, and authenticity.
