The 2019 Boroondara Eisteddfod competition has now closed, thank you for your participation.
The Boroondara Eisteddfod has established itself as a treasured part of Boroondara’s musical landscape. Spanning over six weeks of thrilling competition and events, musicians of all ages came together to showcase their skills and share in the joy of performing.
The event was filled with all the classic Boroondara Eisteddfod sections, including the highly-anticipated Boroondara Piano Concerto competition. It also had a range of new events including Non-Competitive sections, events for Concert Bands and Brass Bands, and Masterclass workshops for VCE students.
We look forward to seeing you next year.
