The Australian Festival of Chamber Music acknowledges the Traditional Owners and Custodians of Townsville – the Wulgurukaba of Gurambilbarra and Yunbenun; and Bindal people. We pay our respects to their cultures, their ancestors and their Elders – past and present – and all future generations. We recognise and value the integral role Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people play in our creative and artistic endeavours.

THEODORE KUCHAR SCHOLARSHIP 2024 - WINNER ANNOUNCED!
Congratulations to Gabrielle Penaluna from Cathedral School.
She’s only 16 years old, but already young Townsville-Gurambilbarra musician Gabrielle Penaluna is highly skilled in Clarinet, Piano and Saxophone. This year, she started learning Bass Guitar! It’s no wonder then, that this talented, passionate and committed young musician has been awarded the prestigious AFCM 2024 Theodore Kuchar Scholarship for Excellence in Music.
SUPPORT
For over 30 years AFCM has been creating opportunities for musicians across regional North Queensland.
