A vocal journey from solo voice to massed choir.

Join long-time Festival friend Mark O'Leary OAM as he guides you on a musical journey not only through the 20 years of Festival of Voices, but also the power of vocal music as it grows from the single voice of Jenny M. Thomas to the visual and aural impact of many combined voices.

This opening gala concert of the 20th Festival of Voices brings performers from previous Festivals together with new participants, intertwined with anecdotes and memory highlights.

We're excited to welcome back Festival favourites Allison Farrow and Andrew Short, Cocktail Hour Quartet, Harambee A Cappella, The Australian Voices and Paul Jarman to share this journey with you.

Audiences will also be treated to performances by the FoV Chamber Choir, conducted by the USA's Christopher Kiver, and the combined forces of several Hobart community choirs, accompanied by outstanding instrumentalists from Hobart Wind Symphony and the Hillcrest Christian College John Williams Wind Orchestra.
