Festival Choir

The Festival Choir began in 2006 in response to desire from the audience to engage with the music more actively.  Since then, we have sung with more than a thousand Festival ticket holders and connected them musically with many of the festival’s favourite acts. Shane Howard, John McCutcheon, Arlo Guthrie, Melanie Safka, Yirrmal Marika and memorably singing in Yolngu language with Gururmul.

The choir has provided an opportunity to become musicians for a weekend and experience the thrill of performing to a beautiful supportive Port Fairy audience.

So, swap your audience chair for a performance stage and become part of the program. Choir-leaders James and Jane will teach you the songs and you can go home boasting, ‘I’ve performed at the Port Fairy Folkie!’. No singing or musical experience is required just a willingness to have a go at something new in a musical experience that you’ll never forget.
