Welcome to Sydney Intervarsity Choral Festival

You are warmly invited to attend the 71st Australia Intervarsity Choral Festival, to be held from the 16th to the 26th of January 2025 in Sydney. We hope you’ll join us for the first festival since 2019, as we celebrate the return of IVs and the 75th anniversary of the very first IV!

One of the highlights of the choral calendar in Australia, IV is an intensive musical and social experience, where choristers travel from all over the country to rehearse a concert – with only 10 days to prepare! The festival is the first non-competitive choral festival for university students in the world, and is still one of the few such festivals in existence.The hard work at rehearsals, the rewarding concert, and the action-packed social calendar – with activities ranging from low-key hangouts, to silly traditions at camp, to a dressy academic dinner – make IV festivals into the most exhilarating 10 days of the year.

We greatly look forward to seeing you there!
