Australian Chamber Choir

The Lodge is honoured to be a sponser of the recently formed Australian Chamber Choir as part of our commitment to support talented young Australians in the performing arts.

Fraternal organisations, including the Freemasons, attended and supported the arts. In 1723 The Theatre Royal in Drury Lane staged Love In A Forest with a dedication by the author, Charles Johnson, himself a Freemason, to the Worshipful Society of Freemasons. In 1728, the Grand Master, announced his intention to attend the Old Play House, hoping and expecting Brethren to accompany him. In August 1730 a Masonic play, The Generous Freemason was staged in London
