Ballarat Organs and Fine Muisc Festival 2026

Each January, the Ballarat goldfields come alive with beautiful music, warm community spirit, and the glow of summer. Over five inspiring days, audiences are invited to experience world-class performances in the region’s historic churches and grand heritage venues — many home to the magnificent 19th-century organs for which the festival is renowned.

Celebrating its 30th year in 2026, the Festival continues to bring together exceptional Australian and international artists in a program of classical and fine music of the highest calibre. From intimate chamber concerts to radiant organ recitals, each performance resonates with the character of the goldfields and the passion of its performers.
