Festival Statesmen are once again excited to be presenting Voices of Adelaide 2026 in partnership with the Elder Conservatorium. We welcome back Dr Carl Crossin and the addition of the Elder Conservatorium Chorale.

Festival Statesmen has a proud history of performance and education across Australia and overseas. In Adelaide, opportunities exist for students to explore competition formats for singing but there are few opportunities to come together in a festival-style event that focuses on education, excellence, community building, collaboration and forging future pathways at the secondary school level.

In 2025, we hosted the multi-award winning vocal quartet, Blindside, from Queensland who headlined our Gala Concert, worked with the students for our a cappella workshop day and performed at our exclusive Voices and Vino evening. We were blessed to have Dr Carl Crossin OAM, Christie Anderson and Jonathan Bligh as our teaching faculty alongside Festival Statesmen Chorus and Aurora Vocal Ensemble.
