Arts and Music - What’s happening?

We are delighted to work with many artists, musicians, theatre groups as well as partnering with local festivals and groups to bring a wide variety of artistic events to our community.

We acknowledge the links between spirituality and the arts, particularly in our First Nations musicians, and celebrate the depth that music and the arts bring to our experience of life. Our events reflect our love of the arts and our commitment to be a community of hospitality and welcome.

a music journey into  the mind and heart of Henry Lawson

Hailing from Warrnambool, songwriter, musician and producer, Don Stewart, has released an album called ‘In the Hope of Something Better’. The album presents poems of Henry Lawson as spoken word and songs, supported by Celtic tune compositions by Australian composers. Stewart said he felt Lawson’s poems “still had resonance with 21st century Australia” and so he has tried to present the pieces in a contemporary and musically broad way, including touches of electronica and rap sprinkled through the tracks.

The Reformers perform ‘The Hope of Something Better’ live. Spoken word, video, songs and Celtic tunes showcase the poems of iconic Australian poet, Henry Lawson, in a new, visceral and innovative way.

“The melding of words and composition, the strident narration, the elegance and dynamism and the contributions of Claire Patti, Pete Denahy are a heady folk delight.” – Online Magazine Listening through the Lens
