Curated by David Hewitt, Four Winds’ Create & Inspire Director, SYMF extends beyond the festival day to include year-round mentorship and opportunities for youth to learn instruments. Through workshops, tutoring, and in-school programs, Four Winds is dedicated to empowering young people to express their stories through sound.

A highlight of the ‘25 festival will be Red Dirt Hymns, Andrew Ford’s powerful tribute to the Australian landscape, performed by the Luminescence Chamber Singers. The festival will offer a space for connection, celebration, and deep listening, with local talent and young musicians taking centre stage.
