Festival of Voices

    Painted in Dirt – Launceston

    The Australian Voices with Kompactus (ACT)

    Following the release of their latest CD, renowned national choir The Australian Voices are visiting regional Tasmania with their “Painted in Dirt” Tasmanian tour. 

    Championing compositions by Australian musicians, including those of Artistic Director John Rotar, they will give you a taste of contemporary Australian choral music – including choir and audience favourite “Painted in Dirt”, featuring entrancing a myriad of bush noises! 

    The Australian Voices will be joined for this concert by Canberra’s Kompactus Youth Choir, conducted by Olivia Swift.  The program will feature a collaboration between The Australian Voices and Kompactus, alongside the premiere of a new Australian work. 

    St John’s Anglican Church are celebrating their 200th Anniversary in 2025, and we are excited to share this concert as part of their anniversary celebrations.   

    This will be a concert to remember!

    Our pricing model

    As a non-profit, we prioritise bringing singing and music to our communities, not maximising income. We work to make our ticket prices as affordable as possible, and we’ve shifted to an early bird pricing model instead of concession pricing. This change focuses on equity, allowing everyone to secure tickets at a reduced price and helping us keep the festival accessible to as many people as possible.

    Each event will have a set number of tickets available at the early bird price. Once these are sold, standard prices will apply. This ensures we can cover event costs while keeping the festival sustainable and maintaining affordable options for our audiences.
