Obituary: Dr. Ron Smart, Australia
Published: Sep 15,2026
The Australian National Choral Association was very sad to hear of the passing of Dr Ron Smart. "Among his many significant achievements was his role in bringing the 1996 World Symposium on Choral Music to Sydney. This was a major event for Australian choral music, bringing the international choral community to Australia and leaving a lasting legacy. Many who attended still remember the Sydney Symposium as a landmark occasion. The International Federation for Choral Music has recognised Ron’s enormous contribution, both to the Sydney Symposium and to the Federation itself. His influence on the Australian and international choral communities will be long remembered." The IFCM Board and President extend their deepest condolences to his wife, Janette, his family, and the whole Australian choral community.
