Four Winds Festival is a truly inspiring experience, one that elevates all the senses and creates harmony between us and the natural world, drawing us together in community, in music.
The Four
Winds Festival
Live Music in Nature
The Four Winds Festival attracts international musicians, classical and avant-garde composers and performers, it presents world premieres, Aboriginal stories and dance, spoken word, theatre, contemporary dance and is a multi-faceted experience, where nature plays her part.
Deep in bush near the South Coast village of Bermagui, the 2021 Festival will be a three-day event of extraordinary live music, dance, Indigenous culture, theatre and film presented at Four Winds’ stunning outdoor venue, the Sound Shell.
Join our community for a safe and joyful celebration of our coastal culture, Australian virtuosity, and enjoy our local oysters, fine wine, and a plethora of produce and hand made nourishment in our beautiful environment.
Three days in
the Sound Shell
Leaning back on the lawns of the Sound Shell natural amphitheatre, senses open to the musical and ecological soundscape, the audience soaks up layers of spectacular musicianship, artistic collaborations, occasional birdsong and breezes in the surrounding trees. It is as soothing visually as it is aurally; shadows and light move across the white sails of the Sound Shell which float above the stage, backdropped by still water, orchestras and voices project around the bush site.
Concerts in the Windsong Pavilion
Intimate concerts and recitals are presented in the beautiful Windsong Pavilion, a performance space of profound acoustic expression. Structurally mimetic of the surrounding spotted gums, the space invites nature to flow into its oak lined hall, the huge glass doors opening out to the surrounding bush. This is the space where audiences experience up-close and personal performances from composers, pianists, string ensembles, singers, didgeridoo players, storytellers… the list is endless.
“This is a place that musicians dream of… beautiful, unspoilt, developed with such sensitivity… where the audience wants you to experiment and demands you play at your best, and play with them. We want to spread this around the world!”
Community
of music
The region surrounding Bermagui and Four Winds is alive with Aboriginal culture. Stories, song, environmental and cultural knowledge from our Yuin people, weave through the music and deepen the experience, as do performances by our younger, aspiring musicians.
Local
spoils
As well as an immersion in music and nature, audiences always enjoy spectacular food and wine, our famous oysters and dairy from local producers, and the welcoming hospitality of our legendary Four Winds volunteer family. Beach shacks, camping or elegant apartments await you, clear waters and pools, long stretches of sand, all are nearby and all your needs are fulfilled.
Are you planning on visiting us for the Easter Festival 2021?
We hope you are planning to attend the long awaited Four Winds Festival 2021. If so, we recommend you make your accommodation bookings early. Due to Covid-19, the Far South Coast is proving to be a rather popular destination, with so many escaping the city. Accommodation is at a premium and we suggest you book for Easter now. If you make a booking in advance and need to cancel, most accommodation venues have a Covid-19 cancellation policy. We look forward to seeing you.
“It was a very special experience for me, to have the privilege of playing for a different audience, attentive and colourful, sitting on grass steps… looking for real music experiences and not attending the exhausted ritual of a ‘normal concert’. An audience ready to react to the most important of the messages, how music talks to souls and bodies with no borders, no class, no race, no age, nothing… just music and living beings,”
