AUSTA WA String Festival

Sunday 15 June 2025

                                  
 

 

 

Quick!  It's not too late to take advantage of our LATE BIRD discount!   All registrations close 23 May at 11:59pm. 

 

We look forward to welcoming teachers and students of all levels to this exciting annual event. One piece, up to 5 minutes, is to be performed for each ticket purchased. Beginner medleys of 2-3 pieces under 30 seconds each, may be approved on application, let us know in Special Requests.

 

Most sessions will showcase a variety of levels, ages, and instruments, but we have several special sessions available this year as well:

 

  • Regular sessions: Share your solos, duets, trios, or quartets (under 5 minuntes) in a non-competitive, welcome enviroment.  If your piece is 5-10 minutes, please register for two timeslots.
  • Adult Friendly sessions: We understand that adult learners have different goals and needs than younger students. And while adult performers are welcome in any session, these special sessions offer a bit of extra support for both solos and ensembles for anyone 16 and over.
  • Alternative Styles: Are you an improviser, a looper, or wanting to use electric instruments and/or effects?  This is your session!  Registration includes a 10-minute time slot to allow for set-up, performance, and clean-up; we will have an amplifier and power board in the room for all performers.
  • Advanced Showcase - Solos & Chamber Ensembles: Special sessions for advanced performers (solos at AMEB Gr7+ / ensembles at AMEB Gr6+ or equivalent) with 15 minute timeslots for longer performance times and feedback from 2 adjudicators.

Enter as an individual (with accompaniment or unaccompanied, if the work does not require accompaniment), or as a member of a string chamber group of up to four players - duets, trios or quartets - with each player playing an individual part.   If a work has an accompaniment part, play it with your own accompanist or use the collaborative pianist provided by AUSTA. AUSTA covers the performance fees for Festival accompanists. Rehearsals if needed are to be arranged by you once you are allocated an accompanist when scheduling has been finalised. This year, you are required to select an piano accompanist or specify that you are providing your own on registration.

 

This event is free for audience members to attend, so invite your family and friends to support your performance.  Food and beverages will be available to purchase until 2pm at the Grindhouse Cafe located across the courtyard from our performance space.
