During the May/June long weekend Denmark Arts will be offering a professional development & modified performance program for the 2025 Festival of Voice.
​
This decision has resulted from numerous community consultations over 3 years. DArts 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 participants
​
Denmark Arts are the only organisation in Australia to 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 million dollar budget and staff to match)
​
Friday will go ahead as normal with the school performance, and we welcome the big sing rehearsals over three days.
Saturday and Sunday will be Choir Camp, a professional developmental program delivered over two days with a national Choir Master.
​
​For more information please email admin@denmarkarts.com.au
Applications to participate will be live in April, at this stage further funding is unsecured.

Denmark Festival of Voice celebrated its 21st year and to mark this achievement, the program directed focus to the many elements that make up a voice.
It is the voice that can sound a little fragile, ethereal, elusive, or impractical but don't loose 'sound' of whose voice it is.... yours!
Voice, simply put, is the person behind the words and sounds that speaks, sings, converses. We tend to focus on receiving/listening to the voice. What about hearing truths, what about feeling emotions?
​
Festival of Voice brought joy, laughter, truths, sorrow, amazement and wonder to the Denmark community and beyond. Thank you to all who supported, attended, performed, shared, and to the incredible volunteers, without who a festival would not exist.
​
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.
