Last seen in 2023, the Pemulwuy! National Male Voice Festival Finale Concert is returning to QPAC to celebrate the mighty sound of 400 voices from throughout the country.
The triennial festival is a multi-generational gathering of male singers of all ages and backgrounds. Choristers unite for a two day workshop in Brisbane, before joining for the finale produced by leading Australian choral organisation Voices of Birralee, in association with Queensland Performing Arts Centre and featuring performances by the adult, secondary and treble strands, the Birralee Blokes and the magnificent massed finale.
Celebrate the wonder of male voice singing with choristers ranging from 10 year olds to 90+ year olds including new works and enjoy the power of the massed finale singing. The massed finale will involve a cast of around 400 voices raising the roof in an inspiring and powerful celebration of male choral singing.
Launched in 2008, Pemulwuy! National Male Voice Festival’s namesake honours the Aboriginal rainbow warrior, Pemulwuy, who was a member of the Bidjigal tribe. His name means “man of the earth”. It is also the title of the music written by Paul Jarman which tells of the legend of Pemulwuy.
