SOMERSET FESTIVAL FOR YOUNG PERFORMERS 25 TO 26 AUGUST Welcome to the twenty sixth annual Somerset Festival for Young Performers. Students are encouraged to perform in a variety of areas vocal, instrumental and speech and drama. The achievement is in the effort, not the placing. The aim is to foster a sense of encouragement and enthusiasm in both performers and audience. Please note that the syllabus is also available online at www.somerset.qld.edu.au/festival-for-young-performers. Although run in an eisteddfod style format, the atmosphere is informal and relaxed, aiming at providing students with an opportunity to perform in front of a supportive audience. Students learn by listening to other performances as well as performing themselves. All performers receive a report on their performance. Adjudicators work hard to provide positive advice for all performers. In keeping with the festival atmosphere, we have displays and a café in operation for the weekend. Please come along and enjoy the weekend of performance presented by enthusiastic young people. Please encourage all performers and applaud their efforts. Registration for the 2018 Somerset Festival for Young Performers opens Monday 26 March 2018.

With over 170 sections offered this year, our aim is to encourage our young performers in a wide variety of areas at varying levels of expertise. Sponsorship of sections enables us to keep our entry fees low, keep sections small and, at the same time, provide each participant with Place Ribbons. Sponsors names are printed on each ribbon and in the Programme. Our aim is for this to be an enjoyable time for our enthusiastic young performers. Sponsorship of a section is $25.00. You may make your contribution via www.somerset.qld.edu.au/somerset-festival-for-young-performers. You will be prompted to indicate which section you would like to sponsor (Strings, Piano, Woodwind, Brass, Guitar, Vocal, Speech and Drama or Keyboard).
