POP – UP PROGRAM

The Light in winter!

Over 100 Pop-Up performances across 28 locations

Each year Festival of Voices brings the city of Hobart and surrounds to life through the Pop-Up Performance Program. Whether it is amongst the buzz of a busy Salamanca Market, or fireside in the intimate comfort of the MACq01Lounge, choral groups both large and small will surprise and delight audiences of all ages.

In 2023 the ever popular Pop-Up Program returns, featuring familiar venues as well as a host of new ones. You can choose to hear your favourite choir, or just turn up to a pop-up venue and be surprised! One thing is for sure – you won’t be disappointed! Bringing joy through song is what the Festival of Voices is all about, so come along and hear some unique performances and experience the power of voices in harmony.
