About
25+ years of French Celebration
La La La was established in 1998 by Catrine Berlatier, who wanted to share the songs she sang in her native France with friends in her adopted country of Australia. The choir has grown and thrived since its humble origins decades ago. All singers are from a range of backgrounds, and share a love of the French world. Professionally directed by Paola Bastreri-Grey, we sing a largely a cappella repertoire. We became incorporated and a registered charity in 2024.
Repertoire
Our repertoire comes from all corners of the French speaking world, from circa 14th century to the present day. This allows us a tremendous range of different styles, from 20th century jazz to renaissance courtly love songs, from boozy drinking songs to gorgeous devotional prayers. From Fauré and Gounod, to wild warriors on the rampage, lovelorn youths, or country bumpkins being teased.
All ages welcome
We rehearse at Fairfield Uniting Church every Wednesday evening at 7:30pm.

We are a registered charity
We can take gifts and donations. Anything above $2 is tax deductible. All contributions will be put towards promoting and teaching beautiful French and chamber music in the Melbourne community.
BONJOUR
On July 26th released our debut album! This was a collaborative effort from our many members; from recording the music, to designing the album artwork, and translating the songs. We are beyond excited to showcase the brilliant repertoire we perform with La La La. This album is available to purchase at all future events, and is available on streaming platforms.
