What is the Queensland Eisteddfod? |
|
The Queensland Eisteddfod is a week-long celebration of the performing arts. Each Easter, the Queensland Eisteddfod is hosted by a different major Queensland provincial city.
As a minimum, each eisteddfod features a wide programme of Choral, Vocal, Instrumental, Speech and Drama sections. It may also include Dance, Art and/or Literature sections. To the best of our knowledge, it is the ONLY eisteddfod in southern Queensland to feature adult Choral sections.
The Queensland Eisteddfod movement has exhibited a loyal following over many years of competition. At least 10 adult and junior choirs (comprising in excess of 600 individuals) compete each year. It provides a means of showcasing some of the best amateur talent in Queensland. In fact, a number of past competitors are now tenured with professional opera companies throughout Australia and abroad.
