Immerse yourself in Tibetan culture without leaving Brisbane.

Overview

Tibet is the type of place that everyone wants to visit at least once — and the kind of destination few of us will actually make it to. Don't worry, the Festival of Tibet offers up the next best thing. It'll either help ease the pain of not jumping on a plane, or make you book a ticket overseas as soon as you can.

2022's festival lineup is a little different from normal, however, adapting to the world we now find ourselves in. So, you can head to Brisbane Powerhouse on Friday, April 1 and Saturday, April 2 for two different concerts — one from Tibetan Grammy-nominated artist Tenzin Choegyal alongside Matt Hsu's Obscure Orchestra, the other pairing Choegyal with Camerata – Queensland's Chamber Orchestra — and then enjoy the rest of the event online.

The virtual program is still being finalised, but the Festival of Tibet usually hosts sessions on how to practice meditation and do yoga, all Tibetan-style; celebrates Tibetan songs; and finds other ways to showcase of the country's way of life.

This year's fest will run from that first gig on Friday, April 1 through to Sunday, April 10.
