Are you interested in bringing your youth choir to Tasmania?
This non-competitive, joy-filled experience offers youth choirs from across the country the opportunity to participate in Australia’s pre-eminent choral festival. Choirs get to sing in a welcoming, inclusive environment to appreciative audiences, meet and sing with like-minded young people and attend special festival events. The opportunity to explore Hobart and Tasmania is also encouraged!
“My ensemble loved the opportunity to meet and talk with the other choirs we performed with, and this personal connection enriched our musical experiences immensely.” Joshua Clifford – conductor, Centenary State High School Choir (Qld)

Travel and accommodation
The festival is in a position to facilitate choirs in recommending the services of its accommodation and transport partners.
Participating choirs and individuals are responsible for all matters related to the organisation, booking, and payment of all accommodation and meals during their stay in Hobart. The exclusion to this is the provision of dinner provided for those taking part in the Youth Choir Social Night or lunch for those performing in the Thursday Youth Choir Showcase.
A comprehensive list of specially negotiated accommodation and travel options in varied price ranges (including hotels, guest houses and hostels) will be provided to all choirs and individuals.
