ADVENT ORGAN RECITALS It is simply too high a risk for us to present concerts at the Basilica at the moment and in the near future. You will all agree that the situation is fluid and unpredictable. Your safety, the safety of our performers and community safety is of utmost importance to us. I sincerely wish to thank all of the musicians and all of the Music at the Basilica Committee who have worked hard to bring these concerts to you. I would also like to thank you for your continued support. However this does not mean that you will have do without excellent music at this time Here is a message from Douglas Lawrence, Director of the Australian Chamber Choir. We miss you all! To honour the memory of Dame Vera Lynn (who died on Thursday at the age of 103, we’ll sing We’ll meet again as part of the program for the concert that we will live stream at 5pm on Sunday 28 June (more details below). We look forward to the time when we can visit Geelong again to sing for you. In the meantime, as Dame Vera might have said, please say hello to the folks that we know. Tell them we won’t be long. Watch a sneak preview of our European Cultural Capitals live-streaming at the following link: https://www.auschoir.org/watch-listen/until-we-meet-again/ European Cultural Capitals is at 5pm on Sunday 28 June Come with us on a virtual journey from London to Moscow via Leipzig and Vienna.

01.01.2022 We have some good news for you. Some of you may recall that guitarist, vocalist and composer Maximillian Rudd was going to present one of the meditations in our Lenten Journey series earlier. We had to cancel that presentation due to the COVID-19 pandemic. During this time Maximillian has been working hard on his second CD "Salvador". This CD follows Maximillian Rudd’s successful debut record Maximillian. The ten-track album represents Rudd’s first appearance alongside h...is fierce new four-piece of Melbourne-based Brazilian music legends Asha Henfry (flute), Alastair Kerr (drums, percussion) and Josh Bridges (bass, cavaquinho). Salvador oozes Rudd’s trademark eclecticism, celebrating life and love with influences from around the globe. You can hear samples tracks from this CD for free here: https://maximillianrudd.com/music/salvador/ If you would like to purchase the CD you can do so from Maximillian's website: https://maximillianrudd.com/store/
