The Choral Fanfare state finals will showcase 10 outstanding choirs from Queensland state schools, providing a unique and prestigious event for these choirs to perform.
After all regional finals have finished, the regional final adjudicators will convene to select up to 5 primary choirs and up to 5 secondary choirs from the most outstanding performance awardees at the regional finals. These choirs will be invited to perform at the Choral Fanfare state final concerts in Brisbane in August 2027 as follows.
The primary state finalists will perform for adjudicators at the Choral Fanfare 2027 primary state final concert.
The primary choir deemed to have given the most outstanding performance will be invited to open the secondary state final concert later in the day. This performance is not compulsory and choirs may decline the offer if they wish.
The secondary state finalists will perform for adjudicators at the Choral Fanfare 2027 secondary state final concert.
The most outstanding primary and secondary performers will both receive the respective Choral Fanfare perpetual trophy.
No more than one choir from any school may advance to the state finals.
Schools who are invited to attend the state final concerts, and are located more than 60 km from the Brisbane CBD, will receive a travel subsidy for up to 70 performers per choir. Eligible schools will also receive a travel subsidy for one teacher per 15 students, for up to 5 teachers.
All travel arrangements, including flights, accommodation, and transfers while in Brisbane, must be organised and paid for by the school.
More information about the Choral Fanfare state finals will be released in the coming months.
