Mungindi Music Festival 2009

Overview

In 2005 after three years of drought, the tiny town of Mungindi on the New South Wales/Queensland border gave up waiting for rain. Instead, a local trio of amateur clarinet players came up with a new way to save the town. With some help from the Outreach program at the Sydney Conservatorium, the group put on the first Mungindi Music Festival, bringing hundreds of visitors and top-class musicians into the town, and giving the locals something big to look forward to.

With concerts staged in local wheat paddocks and magnificent timber shearing sheds, the group created one of the Australia's most unique music festivals. With a strong emphasis on participation, the festival offers a number of workshops that see children and adult musicians from the region learn from some of Australia's best.

Tickets are for sale from their website or at the Mungindi Newsagency.
