Voices of Birralee invites applications from male ensembles to participate in the Pemulwuy! National Male Voice Festival Friday 3 - Sunday 5 July 2026.
In addition to your ensemble members singing in the Pemulwuy choirs ensembles may apply to perform at the showcase concerts in their own solo set. These concerts give ensembles the chance to share their music making in a very supportive environment.
The Festival will run multiple strands and these are:

Youth Strand: school aged changed/changing voices TTBB
Adult Strand: post secondary school adults - no upper age limit
