This year’s festival is full of surprises. Two of Australia’s finest singers: silver-voiced soprano Sara Macliver and jazz chanteuse Kristin Berardi. Festival favourites return: Sophie Rowell, Caroline Henbest, Louise King, Eric de Wit and Rachel Smith will perform a virtuosic program ranging from the dazzling Baroque through to contemporary. Louise King will be producing a community music project TIDDALICK in association with the Dunwich school, involving both young and old from the island community.
