In early 2024, Caleb McKay and Mia Mead were tasked with forming a small group of singers to perform at St Mark’s Anglican Church’s Senior Student Music Performance Series. Having experience singing in Gondwana Choirs, they reached out to some of their musical friends and formed an unofficial chamber choir. This small group rehearsed in the choristers’ homes and ended up participating in three of the performance series.
As they felt the passion the choristers had behind this music, they realised that there was something special here, and with the help of Aedan MacNamara and Ezra Hersch, they founded what is now The Solis Ensemble.
