Waikiki, Honolulu, USA - March 24 - 31, 2012

Experience performing at Sydney’s magnificent Opera House, a memory that will last a lifetime!

Aloha and Mahalo to you for considering the PACIFIC BASIN MUSIC FESTIVAL as your music performance tour in 2012! This will be the 27th annual festival, which over the years has earned the reputation of being the finest educational music festival in the Pacific Islands.

The Pacific Basin Music Festival is an international event, bringing together the most talented junior high, high school, community, and college level bands and choirs from countries of the Pacific Basin and beyond.  Festival activities include adjudicated and outdoor group performances, a full ensemble workshop and group reading exchange, a luau, a dinner dance, and a visit to the Arizona Memorial.  With groups attending from countries such as Australia, Canada, Germany, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Tonga, the United States, and the territory of Guam, this is a unique opportunity for international exchange through social functions and music.

The “Aloha Spirit” is alive and well in Hawaii, and we hope you will join us in 2012 as we continue this gathering of peace and understanding through the language of music.
