Mitchell Conservatorium is proud to host this years Winter Showcase Concert at the Bathurst Memorial Entertainment Centre on Sunday 22 August at 3pm. The senior ensembles from Mitchell Conservatorium’s Bathurst and Lachlan Divisions combine in a jamboree that will warm up the stormiest of winter afternoons, in a spectacular show featuring an eclectic mixture of musical styles and sounds.
The concert opens with the Bathurst Brass Boys who have now reached their final year of playing together as an ensemble. The Allegri Singers present a delightful selection of traditional songs under the direction of William Moxey. The creative and imaginative flair of Fretworx director and top guitarist/ composer Aaron Hopper will be on show, as his students present two works, one by the noted French composer of film score fame, Yann Tiersen.
Next on the menu is the fabulous Bathurst Jazz Ensemble with two pieces arranged by their director, Greg Gibson. Hot on their heels is visiting Jazz Band, Dr. Music and the Con Kids, who are travelling from Forbes to be part of this concert. This group has been performing together for the past three years and represented Mitchell Conservatorium at the Sydney Conservatorium Open Day in 2009.
The Bathurst Chamber Orchestra will perform three well loved works by Bach, Debussy and Faure and the concert concludes with the phenomenal Bathurst City and RSL Concert Band conducted by Mathias Rogala-Koczorowski.
The concert features music of many different styles and genres, that will appeal to all tastes, from jazz to classical, baroque to the traditional.
Come and be part of this winter extravaganza.
