SingFest is an aCappella choral festival held on Australia's Gold Coast every two years. The cream of Australia's choral groups, vocal bands, aCappela ensembles, quartets and school choirs, converge for a weekend of aCappella vocal harmony.
The program is based around a series of concerts by choirs and ensembles. Each group strives to entertain the audience and it's peers with a performance set approximately 20minutes in length. A single concert consists of 8-10 groups and the general public is invited to attend.
Registration entitles singers to perform in the concert series as well as to attend an extensive series of workshops where they can hone their craft as well as just have some fun. There are casual performance opportunities outside of the concert series at the Chorditorium during the social activities.
