With no end in sight to the tough regulations surrounding singing indoors, the choir has decided to take things outdoors.
Led by conductor Samantha Bartholomesusz and the Conservatorium's own director Donna Riles, two groups of choristers came together at Cook Park earlier in the week to blow the cobwebs out of their vocal chords for the first time since March.
The Choir is always open to new singers - of all levels of experience and skill - and members of the community were also invited to watch performances, Mrs Riles said.
"It's a real social atmosphere and collegial time people enjoy very much... It's a wonderful opportunity for anybody who wants to try singing as a hobby or something for health and wellbeing," she said.
The Choir meets every Tuesday in Cook Park at 10 and 11am at the rotunda.
