The heart of MELT

Music brings us together.

Love for God, love for music, and love for one another brought us together — and keep us together.

We come from different backgrounds, professions, churches and circumstances. Music gives us a place to meet, learn, create and belong.

Love for God.Christian values are part of the foundation on which we sing, learn and serve.
Love for music.We take music seriously while remaining open to discovery, learning and new expression.
Love for one another.Different people and different journeys can find one place to meet, grow and belong.

Where it began

A short story, because the point isn't where we came from. It's what happened when we came together.

Two musical journeys.
One new beginning.

Noel Opus

An established musical group whose long friendship and shared musical journey became part of the story that led to MELT.

Flint Male Voice

Another established musical group, connected through years of singing, friendship and shared performances.

What MELT means

Music for Enrichment, Learning & Training.

Through music, we learn more than music.

E

Enrich

We are enriched through music and through one another — and seek to enrich others in return.

L

Learn

We learn together, continually developing as singers, listeners, collaborators and people.

T

Train

What we learn is shared through music classes, workshops, vocal training and opportunities to grow.

What we make together

Made together.

From the first musical idea to the final performance, the work is shaped by creating, collaborating, preparing and performing together.

01
Create
Arrangements, interpretations, musical ideas and new possibilities.
02
Collaborate
Working with musicians, choirs and institutions to discover what becomes possible together.
03
Prepare
Rehearsal, musical discipline, listening and attention to detail — long before an audience hears the first note.
04
Perform
Bringing the work to life and sharing it with people.
The choir

Different people. Different journeys. One place to belong.

MELT is a mixed-voice choir based in Madurai, and the centre of a wider musical organisation. Our members come from different backgrounds, generations, professions, churches and circumstances. What connects us is the willingness to listen, learn, contribute and create together.

We rehearse regularly, with additional practices when a performance calls for them.

Beyond the choir

A wider musical community.

MELT began with a choir. Over time, it is becoming a place where singers, musicians, choirs, educators and institutions can meet, learn, collaborate and grow through music.

BELONG

Different voices don't need to become the same. They need to discover how they can become harmony.
