The hills will be alive with music this Saturday

FROM Kingston to Daylesford, lovers of all musical persuasions are in for a treat this Saturday, 27 August.

Music on the Porch is a world-wide event reviving traditions of musicians gathering to sing, play and make music.

From 12 noon, the Commercial Hotel at Kingston is hosting a diverse group of musicians including The Chocolate Barbarians, Creswick Chorus, Treble Clef, Beta Blocka, Small Town Gals, Hometown Folkies, Thursday Night Choir, and many much more. Refreshments will be available.

If the mood calls for something a little more classical, a short drive to Daylesford’s Christ Church on Central Springs Road you’ll find Ballarat’s string ensemble Klemantyne performing a range of pieces from Handel, Cimarosa, Sibelius, Holst to Kats-Chernin and Piazzolla.

Klemantyne’s founder Nicci Dellar brought together professional musicians and music teachers to form a string classical ensemble which has delighted audiences since its establishment in 2019.

This performance by Klemantyne, which starts at 2.30 pm, is the first of five Christ Church concerts.

Tickets are $30, or $120 for all five concerts. Tickets can be purchased through Klemantyne’s facebook page or are available at Christ Church.
