About Us

Community Chamber Collective (CCC) was established in 2023 by Conductor Shaun Fraser and Violist Stephanie Hughes with a view to make chamber music more accessible to both players and community alike. We have a clear mission to take chamber music into unique places and spaces, ensuring that our performance style is flexible to suit both formal and casual spaces. Our developed repertoire includes music that is both traditional and contemporary making our programming accessible and enjoyable for both new and seasoned listeners.

Since inception CCC has organically developed community connections leading to many successful performances, and has developed an experienced performance group entity playing as ‘The Collective’. We have performed many times for the City of Swan at both public and private events. We have acted as a major partner to Eco-Fashion Australia, providing musical entertainment throughout the 2024 festival. The Collective has also developed a musical collaboration with Australian professional singer and songwriter Louise Anton, and is currently performing our collaborative show, True Colours.
