welcome to the australian national eisteddfod


a note to teachers

This website lists details of all other eisteddfodau in Australia. Teachers might find them useful for finding other performance and competing opportunities for their students.

bands and orchestras

The bands and orchestras competitions will be held from 27–30 May at llewellyn hall (ANU School of Music) and other venues. A wide range of sections are offered, for concert bands, jazz bands, brass bands, school bands, rock bands and orchestras. Each year the event attracts around 100 interstate and local groups. Apart from open age sections, all sections are not competitive, which helps to create a positive experience.
