For one night only, treat yourself to a romantic evening of exquisite classical music from Vienna, complimentary wine from Bendooley Estate, cheese platters and candlelight, and the wonderful ambience of the beautifully renovated Bowral Memorial Hall. It’s a perfect way to end your busy week and fill your cup.
Vienna has been the beating heart of Europe’s vibrant music scene for centuries, and wealthy patrons played a vital role in supporting renowned composers, including Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert. Glorious music that is still being performed and loved today.
Through the generosity of our dear Founding Patron, the late Dr Timothy Pascoe AM, the Highlands Music Collective holds an annual award for talented local musicians aged 14-24. This year’s Eva Pascoe Award was won by 20-year-old pianist Luke Bowen, and we are proud to feature him in this concert.
Well-known to local audiences, Luke performed Liszt’s Piano Concerto with the Southern Highlands Symphony Orchestra in 2023 and is a regular soloist for Inspire Music’s Emerging Artist concerts.
Also on the program are seasoned performers Myee Clohessy, violin (former Artistic Director of the Bowral Autumn Music Festival and Founding Member of Acacia Quartet), Patrick Brearley (former Director of the Coffs Harbour Conservatorium of Music and current Regional Manager of Touring for Musica Viva) and cellist William Howard (former cellist with Trio Paradiso).
