2025 Theme – Musical Crossroads

“At the 2025 Coriole Music Festival,
I am delighted to present a gathering of internationally lauded musicians, some making their Coriole debut, and some appearing in Australia for the very first time. Much of the music programmed this year explores the crossroads of folk art and composed music, of the magical and the real, and of the sacred and the profane, offering a wildly contrasting collection of glittering masterworks.” Simon Cobcroft

Artists

This year’s festival will feature the Australian debut of celebrated British/Malaysian piano virtuoso, Mei Yi Foo. Also making their festival debuts in 2025 are the superb British/Australian flautist Joshua Batty, the exquisite Australian mezzo-soprano, Victoria Lambourn and acclaimed Australian clarinettist, Philip Arkinstall. Beloved Australian Soprano Lorina Gore makes a welcome return to this year’s festival,
