Forte Festival 2026
We are excited to bring you this year’s Forte Festival on Sunday, September 13th!
Held at the beautiful Brisbane State High School Performing Arts Complex, our festival brings the excitement of an event both on the day and in the lead up. Our budding musicians perform in front of a live supportive audience of family and friends in a professional concert setting; often for the first time in their lives.
Young children starting out are sometimes shy, sometimes exuberant—it’s hard to predict how each child will take on board this experience, and that’s all part of what Festival is about. Performing music is something that we believe should be done as early as possible in as nurturing and positive environment as possible. This leads to positive associations with performing and presenting, paying dividends for all aspects of life!
All performers will receive a medallion and a certificate commemorating their performance.
It’s a concert event not to be missed!
