Every 18 months, under the auspices of the Federation of Australasian Mandolin Ensembles Inc., a FAME Mandolin Festival is hosted in one of its member states in Australia or New Zealand. The host state for the next FAME Mandolin Festival is Queensland, and the host orchestra is Mandolins in Brisbane.
All players of mandolin, mandola, mandocello, guitar and bass (acoustic and double bass) are welcome to participate in this exciting week of rehearsals and sectionals, workshops, and in-house evening concerts, culminating in a public Finale Concert at St Johns Cathedral on Saturday 16 July.
All playing levels will be catered for – Beginner, Competent and Advanced – throughout the week, with plenty of opportunities at tea breaks, mealtimes and in the evenings to meet players from interstate and overseas mandolin orchestras, to network and to form new friendships.
Our Festival conductor will be well-known composer and guitarist, Richard Charlton.
