ARIA win for ABC Choir

Congratulations to the Choir of Hard Knocks which has picked up an ARIA Fine Arts Award for best soundtrack / cast / show album.

The popular ABC show won the award at the ARIA Fine Arts Awards held at Sydney’s Conservatorium of Music on Monday night.

The choir can add the gong to its already-impressive list of achievements including sell-out concerts and a platinum-selling album.

The show, which brought together disadvantaged and homeless Melburnians to form a harmonious choir, was commandeered by conductor Jonathan Welch.

It will go down as one of the ABC’s biggest successes of 2007.
