Fri 25 Apr 2014 - Sun 27 Apr 2014


The Blackwood River Chamber Festival returns on ANZAC day long weekend, 25th to the 27th of April.

Celebrating 15 years in 2014, this anticipated event brings together a talented array of Australian musicians who over three days perform against the backdrop of one of the most beautiful regions of Australia, the Blackwood River Valley.

This private venture which was founded by Vincent Moleta is now presented by new directors Sally Boud and Geoffrey Bourgault du Coudray and sees concert events take place in St Paul's Anglican Church and in a lovingly converted shearing shed at Dalmore Farm, just a picturesque 15 minute drive out of town.

This year's festival will feature a small and intimate group of musicians. The first two concerts, separated by a catered picnic lunch will be held in The Shed at Dalmore Farm. This will be followed by dinner and a concert at The Emporium Bistro. The final concert will be held in St Paul's Church and will be followed by a light lunch.
