Support the Festival

The New England Bach Festival has survived and thrived over its 23-year history as Australia’s only Bach Festival because of strong community support. With ticket sales accounting for as little as 15% of the festival budget, we rely on the generosity of donors, sponsors, and volunteers to help keep Australia’s only Bach festival running.

Become a Festival Donor

We are currently accepting tax-deductible donations through the Australian Cultural Fund in our campaign to raise funds for the 2027 festival. Donors can choose to be acknowledged on our website and in the festival program.

Become a Festival Sponsor

The New England Bach Festival offers a rare opportunity to align your organisation with a distinctive regional cultural event that combines artistic excellence with deep community engagement. We aim to tailor individual partnerships to align with your organisation’s goals and interests. Sponsorship opportunities begin at $500. For contributions less than $500, we invite you to support the festival through a tax-deductible donation via the Australian Cultural Fund.

Become a Festival Volunteer

Our festival thrives because of our dedicated team of volunteers. If you would like to be involved in the hands-on work of running a music festival, we would love to hear from you!
