What's it all about?
The Perisher Valley in NSW's Snowy Mountains will open the 2010 Australian Winter Ski Season with a bang with a vibrant, new 4 day festival packed with live music at the snow over the June long weekend.

The Perisher Snowy Mountains of Music runs from Friday 11 June to Monday 14 June and is presented by the Perisher Resorts Chamber of Commerce and led by veteran musician David De Santi who has been the Artistic Director of the famed Illawarra Folk Festival since 1996 and is a member of one of Australia’s most famous bush bands, Wongawilli. With Dave De Santi at the helm you can expect to hear some great new sounds from here and overseas and walk away with an experience to remember.

This is your opportunity to soak up the magic of the snow fields whilst listening to some of our best musicians step up to the mic with a mix of world, folk, roots, celtic, acoustic, traditional music, song, dance, poetry and yarnspinning. The Snowy Mountains of Music will take place in up to 10 indoor venues in Perisher Valley, Smiggin Holes and Guthega Alpine Village.

There’s a wide variety of music to suit everyone’s tastes. Curl up around the fire and let your soul sing with intimate acoustic sessions and songs from around the world. Get out on the floor with some jumping rhythms, late night jam sessions and themed concerts.  Immerse yourself and learn something new at the many workshops and wake up to daily poetry breakfasts in your own Winter wonderland.

The June long weekend is the official start of the Australian Ski season, so it will be cold and there will be snow to enjoy, especially for first-timers.
