With the theme, ‘This is Australia’ it features 3600 singing, dancing and instrumental performers from the ages of five to 18,from 456 public schools across New South Wales.

And in an Australian first, the winners of The Voice and The Voice Kids 2014, Anja Nissen and Alexa Curtis, will duet for an unforgettable powerhouse performance of Note To God.
This is Australia will unite audience and showcase these bright, young performers in a celebration of the beauty of our country’s landscape, our support of one another in the most difficult of times, and our leadership on a global scale.
