Lismore Musical Festival Society, Performing Arts Competitions (Eisteddfod) was formed in l908. Our aim is to encourage children and adults of amateur status to further their skills and to have their works tested by skilful, highly qualified adjudicators. The Society provides stimulation for performers to prepare for public performance, have the opportunity to hear others, to benefit from professional adjudicators and to realise the value of appreciative audiences.
Each year more than 4,000 amateur performers, from individually trained students, dance studios and schools, compete across a broad range of performing arts genres, including: piano, woodwind, string, brass, vocal, dance, speech and drama. Their ages range from 4 years to 50 plus.
