For young singers, dancers, musicians and other performers, entering into an eisteddfod is a true test of ability.
Until July 9 Wollongong will be abuzz with hairspary, sequins and stacatto notes for the 123rd Wollongong Eisteddfod – the second oldest in the country.
Opera singer Imogen-Faith Malfitano, 24, from West Wollongong was one of the first competitors in May and has been competiting since she was eight years old.
Her biggest tip for any first-timers entering the Wollongong Eisteddfod is to erform from the heart.
“There’s a real power and beauty to be found when you’re feeling the music … you can’t go wrong if you’re doing that,” Miss Malfitano said.
Performers will compete in classical vocal, musical theatre, piano, wind instruments, strings instrumental ensembles, verse speaking and drama, dance troups and dance solos.
Venues include Wesley Church and Auditorium, Wollongong Town Hall, Wollongong Conservatorium of Music and Illawarra Performing Arts Centre.
