Tasmanian Choirs

Our 2024 Tasmanian Choir Package offers choir members the opportunity to sing in beautiful and unique venues to audiences old and new. 

Pop-up Program   

Surprise and delight audiences around Hobart in a variety of public spaces across the city. Choirs are invited to perform for guests and passers-by in a creatively curated program.  

The Singers’ Lounge  

Often described as the heart and soul of Festival of Voices, we think it’s our best-kept secret!  Friends – old and new – revel in the glory of scheduled and impromptu performances (sometimes until the wee hours). Audiences are treated to spontaneous song by some of our big-name performers, who in turn have been known to encourage anxious altos and timid tenors to overcome any performing fears to bask in the safe and welcoming arms of our audience. It’s always bustling – the ultimate singers love-in!   As well as performing with your choir, the Tasmanian Choir Package grants you free entry to the Singers’ Lounge (subject to capacity). 

Tasmanian Choir Workshop 

Tuesday 2 July 

5:30pm – 7:00pm 

Long Gallery 

In 2024 we are delighted to welcome back Australian choral legend and festival friend, Paul Jarman, to lead the exclusive Tasmanian Choir Workshop. Come along for an enjoyable experience as we sing through some of Paul’s original works and arrangements in a relaxed, no preparation required, environment. This workshop is a great chance to learn from Paul and to meet and sing with other Tasmanian choristers.
