Welcome to the Guild
The Accompanists’ Guild of South Australia is a non profit making society of practising Accompanists and supporters of the Art of Accompaniment.
The Guild Committee arranges:
- An annual series of events highlighting Accompanists and Accompanying. This year, in order to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the foundation of the Guild, the events all centre around the Festival of Accompanists and Conference of Accompanists and Associate Artists in late May. Click here for more information.
- The publication and distribution of a biennial “Register of Accompanists” advertising the services of members who wish to be listed.
- Fundraisers to support the Guild’s activities, most importantly the Geoffrey Parsons Award in honour of Australia’s most outstanding Accompanist which aims to encourage excellence in the Art of Accompaniment.
