Emerging Young Artists

Our young performers are the future of folk and SydFolkFest23 will offer many opportunities for young folk to get involved. We look forward to welcoming these young folk artists in 2023. We’ll be hosting FolkFedNSW’s Young Folk Artists of the Year in a special Youth Concert.
