The Boroondara Eisteddfod is a music and vocal competition that fosters the careers of young artists.
The 2018 competition has ended. We saw a record-breaking number of entrants across all our events, and our audiences were left in awe the level of talent within our vibrant community.
We heard exciting performances from concert bands and orchestras, vocalists and choirs, instrumental soloists, pianists and everything in between.
