A beautiful lunch today to celebrate another great year together. And bigger and better music and events planned again for 2020! It’s never too late to get involved in your local music scene too.

Lead by Monica Sketcher, the MAD Orchestra has been enjoying putting together a program of new and old favourite pieces for an audience of all ages. Joining them will be a visiting guest group all the way from the big smoke, the Croydon Wind Symphony. Lead by David Billimoria, the CWS is a group with 50+ musicians! They perform regularly at events and concerts in Melbourne, and this year we are delighted that they asked to come perform in a shared concert to delight our local Mansfield audience. We were very excited to say yes to a shared concert and can’t wait to share the stage at the PAC. It’s a never to be repeated concert which will culminate in some combined pieces with over 80+ musicians on stage together! You def won’t want to miss this performance.

02.01.2022 We played in the rain, and had a fabulous time this morning at the Mansfield Farmer's Market. A small, but super dedicated group performed fun classics such as the Can Can, the Emperor's Waltz, William Tell Overture, and some movie favs such as Can you feel the love tonight, Addams Family. Looking forward to our next few gigs in April and May.
