Celebrating the transformative power of singing.

Inspired by the age-old tradition of gathering around a fire, this Tasmanian winter event series has become Australia's leading singing celebration.

Since the first Festival in 2005, our series of events has become a symbol of warmth and community, drawing 30 000 people during the Festival period. The Big Sing, where it all began, remains a vital part of the Festival, symbolising the joy and vitality of singing together. The program includes various music styles, including choral, contemporary, and cabaret, attracting music lovers worldwide.

Experience Festival of Voices with opportunities to attend concerts, participate in learning and development sessions, and engage in informal singalongs. It's an immersive blend of entertainment and education, ensuring a well-rounded celebration where all can enjoy a shared passion for singing.
