24.01.2022 Congratulations to all 65 Choirs on your amazing performances over the past two days! Newcastle Chamber Choir won their 6 Open sections, including the Australian Open Choral Challenge. Barker College from Sydney won the 12 Years & Under Championship and its Copeland Choir took home a Platinum award for its performance in the Primary School Age Choirs. Radford College Chorale also received a Platinum award for outstanding performance. Many thanks to adjudicator Jodie Spooner-Ryan for your encouragement and positive feedback. And all the sponsors and volunteers who make the event happen!

23.01.2022 Vale Patricia Forbes (Whitbread) Last night, the world lost this beautiful lady. Patricia (Pat) was a long term supporter of the National Eisteddfod Singing Division and volunteered countless hours to assist it to run. Our warmest love and thoughts go out to her family and friends. ... Thanks Pat for all your dedication to music and for keeping it alive in Canberra. You will be missed.

17.01.2022 We are extremely sad to convey that Diana Owen passed away on Monday after fighting brain cancer for almost 18 months. Diana was a long supporter of the Eisteddfod, convening Instrumental division in the 1990s, working in our office and playing Harp at our and other functions. Her partner Paul Barsdell is still involved in Bands & Orchestras today. A funeral to celebrate Diana’s life will be held at Norwood Park Crematorium, Mitchell, on Thursday 26 November at 10.30am. Our sincere condolences to Paul and their families.
