Tasmanian Choir Package

In 2025 the Tasmanian Choir Package includes the following experiences: 

Pop-up Program    

Surprise and delight audiences across the state in a variety of public spaces. Choirs will enjoy performing 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 Workshops – Hobart and Launceston 

Launceston | Monday 30 June | 5:30 – 7:00pm | St Lukes Launceston

Hobart | Tuesday 1 July | 5:30 – 7:00pm | Long Gallery, Salamanca Arts Centre 

Following the positive response to our 2024 Tasmanian Choir Workshop, we are delighted to welcome back Australian choral legend and festival friend, Paul Jarman, to lead the 2025 workshops in both Hobart and Launceston. Come along for an enjoyable experience as we sing through some rounds and explore songs from around the world in a relaxed, no preparation required, environment. This workshop is a great chance to learn from Paul and to meet and sing with your fellow Tasmanian choristers.

If you answered YES, do not register again – your Tasmanian Choir Package is included in your workshop fee! Additionally, conductors and accompanists do not need to pay the Tasmanian choir registration fee. 

Otherwise, click on the ‘Purchase – individual choristers’ button to register and pay for your individual choir package. Individual registrations are open until 13 June 2025. 

You will receive a confirmation email after checkout. You need to complete the singers’ details form for all singers who were included in your transaction. 

Please also ensure that your musical director, choir leader, or representative completes the Tasmanian Choir registration (via the ‘Choir group registration’ button) form for the group before 30 April 2025. 

All choirs that want to participate in the Festival need to complete a choir group registration form. This form should be submitted once per choir, by the musical director, choir leader, or another representative, via the ‘Choir group registration’ button at the top right of this web page. 

Based on the information provided, we will work with you to create a schedule for your choir that accommodates any workshops, rehearsals, and performances.    

Choir group submissions are due by 30 April 2025.    

Please contact Aaron Powell, Tasmanian Choir Package coordinator, for any enquiries at [email protected]. 

All choirs and vocal ensembles of any experience-level and genre are welcome to participate. 

The Festival can assist choirs by recommending our preferred accommodation and transport partners, who offer exclusive discounted prices. 

Participating choirs and individuals are responsible for all matters related to the organisation, booking, and payment of all accommodation, travel, and meals on your trip to Tasmania.    

A comprehensive list of specifically negotiated accommodation and travel options in varied price ranges will be provided to all choir organisers. 

The Festival is not responsible for any travel or accommodation booking issues that may arise.
