VOLUNTEERS
The Wimmera Music Eisteddfod is run entirely by Volunteers.
Each one of our Volunteers has been chosen because of their passion for the performing arts and their ability to make our patrons and guests feel completely at home. Many have taken time away from work and family to be involved with the 2025 Wimmera Music Eisteddfod.
The contribution of our amazing Volunteers is immeasurable - we couldn’t put together the WME without them.
