During the May/June long weekend Denmark Arts will be offering a professional development & choir performance program for the 2025 Festival of Voice.
​
Denmark Arts are facilitating skills development and allowing time for performances to be honed with a biennial festival, and that this move is also in response to a survey of last year's DFOV participant artists.
​
Denmark Arts are the only organisation in Australia to have run duel back to back festivals for 21 years with a team of 3-5 festival organisers. (Mona ran Dark Mofo for 10 years with summer festival MOFO and Perth Festival has only just begun running a winter festival, with a massive budget and staff to match).
​
Friday will kick off at 3:45pm as normal with the school performances, and we welcome a choir performance after the schools which is by donation entry.
​
Saturday and Sunday will be Choir Camp, a professional developmental program delivered over two days with a national Choir Master Stephen Taberner, festival favourite Della Rae Morrison, and local Choir leader Rhian Thomas.
​​
Stephen will be working in collaboration with Della and Rhian over the weekend. The aim will be twofold: to learn beautiful songs and make them sound as beautiful as they can be, and also to build awareness of the ways in which we can make voices sound beautiful together.
So it will be part singing workshop and part masterclass on choirleading. It will be absolutely fullsome to experience either as a singer who wants to be led or someone wishing to lead singers!

Applications to participate in the camp are closed.
The Denmark Festival of Voice is not your average music festival. Held in the beautiful south coastal town of Denmark, Western Australia, the festival is one of only two dedicated vocal festivals in Australia. The festival explores diversity, celebrating voices from near and far and those from the edge. Music is only one part of the program alongside storytelling, spoken word, poetry and experimental performance.
