Young Tasmania Sings: 

• Brings youth choirs together in a co-operative, non-competitive environment, including choirs from all school systems and community youth choirs.  

• Provides an opportunity for singers from grades 5 to 8 to work together with a visiting expert director and share the outcomes with family, friends and the wider community.  

• Creates the opportunity for young singers to perform with a full orchestra as an integral part of the program.  We welcome our partners from the Tasmanian Youth Orchestra to work alongside participating choristers.  

• Demonstrates pathways for young singers through the inclusion of choral items by visiting guest choirs from Hobart, mainland Australia and the world.    

• Is a rewarding, satisfying and memorable music experience for young singers. 

The Tasmania Sings concert has become an annual highlight for my choir since they first participated in 2018. Preparing them for this has been made easy with the learning tracks provided and the choice of music has always been great. The joy on the faces of my students when they’re rehearsing and performing, serves as a strong reminder of why I love doing what I do.
– Peter Eddleston, Music Teacher and Choir Director, Albuera Street & South Hobart Primary Schools 

The Young Tasmania Sings concert gives young choristers a memorable and inspiring experience of working with a leading conductor on choral repertoire that is both educational and engaging. They have so much fun singing with masses of other young singers in a public concert and with Tasmanian Youth Orchestra, and in the process are receiving a huge boost to their aesthetic, social and emotional development. It is especially beneficial for the choristers in small regional choirs such as ours to have access to this experience, which would not be available in our area.

Young Tasmania Sings was a great experience. I’m glad I did it because I was full of joy and happiness and my parents were proud that I took the opportunity.

Singing at the Festival of Voices was an incredible experience. It was amazing to come together with students from different schools and backgrounds, all sharing a common love for music. The experience was not only musically enriching but also incredibly heartwarming. Singing alongside others created a powerful sense of community and belonging that I’ll always treasure.

Young Tasmania Sings was an incredible experience, since many people from different backgrounds got together to make incredible music. I enjoyed the two days of rehearsal immensely and strongly believe that it helped to improve my singing ability, along with social connections.

It’s a great opportunity to sing in a multi part choir and an amazing life experience that I will remember for the rest of my life.

Singing with people from other schools is really fun!  I can’t wait for Festival of Voices to come again next year.
– Louisa – participant, Mt Stuart Primary School 

I thought it was a really fun experience to meet new people and we got to do a lot of creative stuff.  It was really great to sing with a big group of people.
