More than 300 singers will bring their musical talents to this year's renowned Dunsborough SongFest, held from November 6 to 8.

The sixth instalment of the annual event will boast high-class West Australian and internationally acclaimed performers.

Globetrotting quartet Hi-Jinx, who recently performed in Las Vegas, will join the renowned Spirit of the Streets Choir, IRIS, GALSWA and the Born to Sing Choir as this year's headline acts.

Dunsborough SongFest co-ordinator Judy Waterman said the event showcased many quality performers as it was WA's only dedicated community choir group festival.

"This year is potentially our biggest year, as the festival is getting more known to the general community and more community choirs want to be involved," she said. "It gives community choir groups an opportunity to perform - everyone enjoys getting together."

Mrs Waterman said this year's festival would also include singing workshops which catered to all skill levels.

"One of our big aims to pull in the community to not just watch, but to also get involved in the workshops too," she said. "The workshops are a great way to learn because they are conducted in a fun and positive environment."

The 2015 Dunsborough SongFest will be spread across five venues, with the Our Lady of the Cape Primary School auditorium set to hold the main festival concert on Saturday, November 7.
