Festival of Voices hits regional Tasmania 

Festival of Voices has announced its 2026 line-up of conductors, composers and artists along with a fresh program of immersive experiences across the state.

Held from 3 to 12 July 2026, the program offers a vibrant mix of concerts, hands-on workshops, singalongs and free performances.

Festival CEO Nadine Rowell said the 2026 event would bring together an array of performers while introducing new ways for people to experience the joy of singing and connection.

“In an exciting new addition we’re launching four new three-day regional tours called Voices on the Road,” she said.

“Supported by the Tasmanian Government through Events Tasmania, participants will be bused to unique regional stop-offs across the state where they’ll discover special places and unique festival experiences.

“This new offering has been designed to appeal to anyone wanting to discover more of Tasmania, non-singers are welcome to join in or listen and experience the joy of music with us.”

Ms Rowell said the 2026 workshop program featured a range spanning baroque through to rock.

“The Classical Choral workshop will be led by Dr Elizabeth Scott, a distinguished choral conductor and mentor to the next generation of singers who is joining us again after a hugely successful visit in 2024,” she said.

“Other workshops on offer include A Cappella, songwriting and the AC/DC Choir, a high-energy, participatory workshop led by Darina from Sydney (of Sing ’n Sip fame).

“This two-day AC/DC experience promises a fun, rock-inspired vibe to transform singers into a powerhouse chorus.”

Additional festival registrations now open include the Corporate Choir Challenge, Young Tasmania Sings, Youth Choirs, Touring Choirs and Tasmanian Choirs.

“From world-class performers to participatory workshops, there’s something for everyone to enjoy whether you’re a performer, listener or first-time visitor to Tasmania,” Ms Rowell said.

The full program line-up will be announced on 20 March 2026, for more information visit festivalofvoices.com
