Twenty years ago, Festival of Voices was a grassroots gathering of singers and music lovers in nipaluna/Hobart in the depths of winter. Fast-forward to 2025, and Festival of Voices – the 20th anniversary program for which was recently launched – has become one of Australia’s most celebrated vocal festivals, drawing artists and audiences from across the country and around the world.
This year’s Festival, running from Friday 27 June to Sunday 6 July, honours that journey while also embracing up-and-coming talent. Festival favourites return alongside innovative new performances, in a program that honours the past while looking firmly to the future.
