This year, the Festival of Voices celebrates its 20th anniversary with what it calls its “biggest program yet”: as its centrepiece, Verdi’s Requiem will see its first Tasmanian performance in 40 years under the baton of UK  conductor David Lawrence. Other festival highlights include ensembles The Australian Voices, Germany’s Sjaella, The Hong Kong Children’s Choir and New Zealand’s Luminata Voices, and the free, family-friendly festival mainstay, The Big Sing.

If you have never attended a choral concert – now is the time!

This exciting and entertaining afternoon of choral music is presented by extraordinarily talented visiting young adult choristers sharing the stage with contemporary professional ensembles ….and special guests from Catalonia.  Festival of Voices is proud to promote the next generation of Australian choristers.

You can expect to hear a variety of entertaining songs – some with themes of unity and togetherness, some with textural variations and movement, some toe-tappers that you are sure to know, and something that may be new and exciting to your ears.
