Join us in 2012...
Monday 23rd January to Saturday 28th January 2012
as part of the Tamworth Country Music Festival
The fifth Aboriginal Cultural Showcase will include a week-long program of Aboriginal music and culture and be held during the Tamworth Country Music Festival. The Annual Cultural Showcase provides unique opportunities for exposure and performance development to Aboriginal musicians with musicians will be able to perform on a number of stages. The schedule at the main venue will include free master classes and Showcases, and will feature ticketed evening shows as the week heads into the big Festival weekend. The week will finish with a flourish at the Showcase Finale which exposes the talent of the best performers of the week alongside some of Australia’s most iconic Aboriginal musicians in Tamworth’s premiere venue, the Capitol Theatre.
Performers can hone their skills in a series of free master classes held at the beginning of the week and then show their stuff during the Walk-Up Showcases. Showcase walk-up slots are available to anyone of any level of talent and provide the opportunity to perform on stage with a professional backing band.
