Our first gig for the New Year will be at the  annual Daylesford Singers Festival which is being held at various venues in Daylesford on the weekend of the 14th to the 16th January. We will be participating in the Choirs Concert on Sunday 16th January at 2.30pm in the Daylesford Town Hall. Join us for a veritable a feast of singing with performances from all the wonderful choirs that will be at the festival.

“We’ve had enormous fun preparing for this concert,” says Cathy Nixon, the choir’s director. “The repertoire is more upbeat than usual. There’s a lot of texture and percussion and we will be premiering seven new songs from artists such as Indigo Girls, Sweet Honey in the Rock and The Wailin’ Jennys.”

“The Brunswick Women’s Choir is the voice of many who are not heard,” says Lou Bennett (formerly of Tiddas), who collaborated with us on three songs in her traditional Yorta Yorta language. “The women are true to their humanity and active reconciliation. Their singing takes you on a journey – one of sublime depth, always with a question asked, explored, or answered.”

Don’t miss these two concerts, our biggest for the year, showcasing our latest repertoire right at home in Brunswick.
Matinee performance: 3:30pm   Evening performance: 7:30pm

Tix: $15/$12conc

Date: 2010-04-25

The exhibition features artworks in a range of media including painting, works on paper, sculpture, installation and photography.
