Applications are now open for musicians or ensembles interested in performing at the 30th annual Clarence Jazz Festival!
The Festival is a wonderful part of the Nipaluna’s event calendar and will take place from the the 19th to the 22nd of February at Rosny Farm and Simmons Park in the beautiful City of Clarence in Southern Lutruwita (Tasmania).
The Clarence Jazz Festival scholarship – which has been running for 15 years, is an opportunity for young jazz musicians to engage in a range of activities designed to enhance their performance and collaborative skills and to progress their music careers to the next level. Led by incredible vocalist and educator Katy Raucher, scholarship recipients have the chance to work with a house band of experienced players, are given professional development and performance opportunities and get to meet a huge array of players from around Australia at the Jazz Festival.
If you are between 15 and 21 years of age and actively studying music (either at a high school, college or university level), you are eligible for this opportunity. Whilst grade 11 and 12 students tend to get the most advantage from the scholarship, we invite all applicants between this age range to apply.
Every year the Schoolhouse Gallery hosts the Poochibald – one of our most popular exhibitions each year. Anyone can submit a painting, drawing, print, or small sculpture and be in the running to win.
Be inspired by dogs of all kinds – celebrity dogs, childhood pals or that trusty chonk keeping your toes warm on the couch right now. What says I love you more than an award winning portrait?
Featuring both an adult and two junior sections, there are great prizes. EOI’s will be out in early June.
