Hymnfest is a celebration of the music that is foundational to the church; the theme for this year is Singing the Gospel.

There will be a selection of well-known hymns and songs and choral items with the Mosaic Hymnfest Choir and Wesleyan Methodist Tongan Choir, followed by a performance from singing group, the Euphonics.

The a capella singing group, the Euphonics, is new to the gig scene. They have spent the last three years mainly performing in Canberra. Members have an eclectic mix of musical backgrounds from musical degrees to choir experience, instrumentalists, coaches, bands and much more.

Audiences can expect a variety of musical genres from many eras.

Hymnfest is a free community event, one for all who love singing hymns.

People from all churches are invited from across the ACT for an afternoon of singing well-known hymns from a wide range of writers.
