Central Coast Instrufest

Central Coast Conservatorium of Music is launching the inaugural Central Coast Instrufest – a five-day competitive music festival being held at Robert Knox Hall, Gosford, from Tuesday 8 – Saturday 12 October.

The school holiday competition is being sponsored by Central Coast Council and will be held across five days (with three sessions between 9am – 4pm) with age-based categories in vocal, piano, strings, guitar, brass, percussion and woodwind on the following days:

• Piano – Tuesday 8 October 2024
• Vocal – Wednesday 9 October 2024
• Woodwind/Brass – Thursday 10 October 2024
• Strings – Friday 11 October 2024
• Percussion/Guitar – Saturday 12 October
• Championship Showcase – Saturday 12 October (evening)

The performances will be judged by qualified adjudicators, with a selection of competitors being chosen to perform again in the Championship Showcase on 12 October. Prizes will be awarded at the Championship Showcase for most promising musicians.

Central Coast Instrufest is open to anyone aged five and over. This competition is about celebrating the joy of music and live performance, and we are looking forward to filling our Robert Knox Hall with the sounds of a wide variety of instruments. Most importantly this is about having fun, and for some, experiencing performing in front of someone else for the first time.

Entry is $10 per section, registrations close 15 September 2024.
