After helping form the orchestra six-years ago, Barry Wilkins OAM has taken his final bow as Musical Director and secretary of the Moorabool Light Orchestra.<\/em><\/p>\n

Mr Wilkins sat down to chat about his time with the MLO and what\u2019s next.<\/em><\/p>\n

For Mr Wilkins, it was a lifelong passion to become a conductor.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I was a young boy, I used to use my mother\u2019s knitting needle and the rubber stopper off an eye-dropper as baton, and I would stand in front of the radio for hours and hours,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI learned Handel\u2019s Messiah from memory; I learnt symphonies like they were going out of fashion.\u201d<\/p>\n

He has never been formally trained in an instrument; instead, trawling through books on music allowed Mr Wilkins to \u201cbluff\u201d his way into conducting concerts for the first time.<\/p>\n

And 50-years later, he has conducted around Australia and internationally; from the Walt Disney Symphony at Disneyworld to the 360-member Mormon Tabernacle Choir in Salt Lake City.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever earned a penny out of conductor. To me, that\u2019s my hobby,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Although no stranger to an era of jazz and rock, Mr Wilkins said he was always inclined to the great composers of classical music.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love the classics, I like all types of music, and I suppose in those early days there was a lot of classical stuff on radio,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI mean, just the whole business with some of the composers\u2013the Mozarts and Beethovens\u2013it\u2019s just magic.\u201d<\/p>\n

In conjunction with music, Mr Wilkins has a strong connection to tourism, including as director and CEO of the Ballarat Begonia Festival for 23-years.<\/p>\n

His efforts led him to be awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia in 1992 for services to tourism, festivals, the arts and community.<\/p>\n

During his time in Bacchus Marsh, Mr Wilkins notes its potential as a thriving arts scene.<\/p>\n

He describes the town as \u201ca place, culturally and artistically, waiting to happen\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve got the two rivers; we\u2019ve got the gorges \u2013 a great opportunity [for the arts],\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think some people have woken up to that, and with the visual arts starting to emerge in Bacchus Marsh, it is the start.\u201d<\/p>\n

Although Mr Wilkins won\u2019t entirely disappear from the MLO, his significant step away means a new chapter for both himself and the orchestra.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think leaving Bacchus Marsh in general and leaving the orchestra\u2026I follow that with great interest,\u201d said Mr Wilkins.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve had people say to me, \u2018Oh now that you\u2019re going, you don\u2019t care whether [the MLO] lives or dies\u2019 well I say, \u2018I didn\u2019t bust my guts for years for it to then just end!\u2019\u201d he laughed.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m very pleased there\u2019s a very strong push to make sure the Moorabool Orchestra survives\u2026we\u2019ve already appointed two conductors, and I will still be the conductor over the next couple of years.<\/p>\n

\u201cI look forward to seeing where it will go, and someone will take it in a different direction, but that\u2019s life,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The one question he remains stumped on is choosing a favourite piece of classical music.<\/p>\n

\u201cI really can\u2019t answer that!\u201d he laughed.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m passionate for Messiah by Handel, I suppose because I fell in love with [the conductor Leonard] Bernstein\u2026that\u2019s one that sticks in my mind\u2026also the Mozart Linz set.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for his work over the decades, Mr Wilkins prides himself most on using music as a tool to bring the community together.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome people say how do you live without sport; I say, how do you live without music?\u201d<\/p>\n
