The North Metro Music Festival (NMMF) is held at The Hewitson Theatre, Alexander Avenue in Evanston South in the last week of October every year.
The NMMF began as the Salisbury Elizabeth Festival and performances were held at the Octagon Theatre in Elizabeth until it closed in 2003. The show became a staple event at the Hewitson Theatre for the next 19 years, experiencing a temporary relocation to the Shedley Theatre in Elizabeth in 2022 and 2023. This year marks the festival's return to the Hewitson Theatre.
Each year the NMMF host evening concerts featuring up to 20 schools from the Northern regions of Adelaide, including North Metropolitan, Barossa, Yorke & the Mid-North. The concerts feature students from local schools as assisting artists, showcasing the talents of students in the North. We sing all of the Festival of Music repertoire, and provide opportunities for students in Years 4-6 to participate and perform on stage. We hold a workshop at the end of Term 3 to rehearse as a whole group, and have an audition process to select hosts, soloists and choreography leaders.
To participate in the NMMF, schools pay an annual participation fee. Each school selects a representative to be part of the committee which generally meets once a term to support the choirs and teachers, and assist with the running of the workshop and concerts. Schools are also invited to create a banner with their students, showcasing one of the songs. These banners are then displayed on concert night.
Join us in the North & get involved - we'd love to have you!
