Highlands Music Collective presents ‘Cherry Blossoms’ @ Bowral Memorial Hall

With the arrival of spring in September, Highlands Music Collective presents CHERRY BLOSSOMS, featuring violinist Myee Clohessy, soprano Alison Robertson, pianist Lisa Kawai, cellist Catherine Barnett, and Zephyr Chamber Singers.

Each year, the cherry tree’s stunning pink and white petals bloom for a fleeting moment. Its delicate flowers symbolise new beginnings, joy, beauty, and the transient nature of life. This concert celebrates the significance of Spring in different corners of the world through beautiful music, heartfelt poetry and joyous song.

The Southern Highlands has its own significant and beautiful Cherry Tree Walk meandering through Bowral. It has inspired local composer Oscar Dunn-Luck to write a work specifically for this concert, and our esteemed local poet, Mark Tredinnick, to pen some words for us.

Join us for an intimate and memorable evening at Bowral Memorial Hall. The foyer doors will open from 5:45 pm, and you will be welcomed with a glass of complimentary wine and nibbles.

The concert hall doors will open at 6.10 pm for a 6.30 pm concert start. There is no interval, and the performance will last approximately 70 minutes.
