It’s on AGAIN! We are so delighted to be able to invite you and your child along to the concert event of the year – the Forte Festival 2023!
The Forte Festival is a great opportunity for all of our students to show off their hard work and dedication throughout the year. This years Festival will be held on Saturday and Sunday the 7th and 8th of October at the Performing Arts Complex at the Brisbane State High School. This years Festival concert will be an event not to be missed.
Why we hold our Festival
The Forte Festival is a lot of work – over 250 students performing over two days means that it is a demanding, difficult and tiring day. So why do we do it? We hold our Festival because we believe that the earlier students perform in front of other people in a formal setting, the easier it becomes. Indeed, the easier performing, speaking or presenting in front of people becomes. We are also sure that allowing our students to perform in a positive and nurturing environment sets our students up to enjoy performing and sharing their skills with others.

What to do….
Start discussing with your child’s teacher now what the best piece to showcase their talent is. Pick a song that they are comfortable with, enjoy playing, and shows off their skills. Start holding mini-concerts at home to get your child used to performing, often mention that you are looking forward to seeing them up on stage – just building positive excitement is really helpful.
What to expect on the day…..
The Forte Festival can bring on nerves, so it’s best to get everything ready before the day to avoid and last minute rushes. Parking details will be sent closer to the date.
Pick a suitable outfit, get the music together and plan your trip well in advance. Nearing performance time, be positive, excited and expectant of a great performance and this will rub off! We look forward to having you there on the day, and please get in touch if you have any further questions or concerns.
