    A Choral Soirée

Expect a beautifully curated program that showcases the choir’s exceptional musicianship and cultural heritage in one of Hobart’s most distinguished spaces.

Premium tickets are priced at $85 and include reserved seating, a complimentary glass of bubbly at the conclusion of the concert, and the opportunity to mingle with fellow VIP guests. Please note that premium availability is strictly limited. General admission tickets are available for $59.
