Nestled in Salamanca Arts Centre’s Long Galle ry\, the Singers’ Lounge is more than just a venue – it’s where th e Festival comes alive with music\, camaraderie and creativity. \n\n\n\ nEach evening features captivating performances from talented artists an d choirs\, and as the night unfolds\, the stage transforms into an open mic haven. Whether you’re an experienced performer debuting new materi al or someone testing their voice in front of an audience for the first time\, this is your moment. Add your name to the blackboard list and ste p into a welcoming space that celebrates courage\, connection\, and comm unity. \;\n\n\n\nThe Singers’ Lounge isn’t just about the perfor mances – it’s about the stories. In 2025\, we saw acclaimed professi onals such as The Velvetones and The Australian Voices return to share t heir artistry in this unique space. Equally moving were the heartfelt mo ments from first-time performers who found the confidence to say\, “Th is is the first time I’ve ever shared a song I wrote”\, or “I neve r thought I’d sing solo in front of an audience.” These experiences embody the Singers’ Lounge spirit\; a place where music unites and ins pires. \;\n\n\n\nWhat makes the Singers’ Lounge truly special is i ts all-in-together atmosphere. Here\, the lines between professional and amateur dissolve\, and everyone – whether on stage or in the audience – becomes part of the magic. It’s a space that feels distinctly Tas manian\, with an emphasis on connection\, inclusivity\, and shared exper iences. \;\n\n\n\nIn 2026\, we are excited to introduce the Choir Lo unge – a sister space located in the Founders Room on the top floor of Salamanca Arts Centre – designed to broaden the Singers’ Lounge exp erience. \; \; \;\n\n\n\nThe Choir Lounge will run on select ed evenings of the Festival (dates to be announced)\, featuring intimate performances that showcase everything from beloved choral classics to b old contemporary works. It’s a space where every note resonates\, ever y harmony inspires\, and every listener becomes part of the experience.& nbsp\;\n\n\n\nIn the Choir Lounge\, you’re invited to slow down\, list en deeply and immerse yourself in the artistry of ensemble singing. Feel the connection through harmony – where every breath\, blend and phras e can be felt. Sit back\, tune in and let the music speak. \;\n\n\n\ nThe Choir Lounge celebrates the collective spirit of Festival of Voices while offering something new: \; a space to listen deeply and to di scover the power of human voice in harmony. \;\n\n\n\nNights in Sing ers’ Lounge and Choir Lounge aren’t events – they’re at the hear t of the Festival’s identity. We invite you to immerse yourself in a c ommunity that celebrates music and belonging. Whether you’re performin g\, cheering others on\, or simply soaking up the energy\, you’ll leav e with unforgettable memories and a sense of something larger than yours elf. \n\n\n\n\n\nAccessibility\n\n\n\nLong Gallery:Accessible Toilet (l ocated on level 1 and in the Courtyard)Registered Assistance Animals we lcomeAccessible entry via the lift in the CourtyardFounders Room:Access ible entry via Lift in The Courtyard (via Woobys Lane)Accessible Toile tRegistered Assistance Animals welcomeCompanion Card URL;VALUE=URI:https://www.sac.org.au/events/singers-lounge-and-choir-lou nge-festival-of-voices/ UID:urn:uuid:66d4679e-5173-4b6c-9726-deed75cc1770 STATUS:CONFIRMED ORGANIZER: DTSTAMP:20260525T191957Z DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20260703 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20260711 LOCATION:Salamanca Arts Centre END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
