If you missed the Peter and Josh Violin Duo concert on 23 July, don't despair, a repeat performance will take place at the Notre Dame concert hall near Lithgow Hospital. A superb venue for concerts - a tiered auditorium with 90 comfortable seats and excellent acoustics.
Josh Mason a mature-age student, will be taking the lead violin part while Peter, a teacher with Mitchell Conservatorium will be playing a secondary role.

Al Ritchie commented on the Library concert, “I was inspired with
the quality of the performance and the way Peter had trained Josh so he could play confidently in such a public performance.”

Kath Compton said, “It was a wonderful opportunity to enjoy a range of music performed by very accomplished local citizens. It may have been cold outside, but the concert program had us all smiling and tapping our feet with a range of music from Gypsy, to Irish, Classical to Twentieth Century and even a musical mystery quiz to complete the performance.”

Kate Aeberli commented, “I had not heard Josh play before and I was impressed with the duo performance. I'd encourage music-lovers to spend an afternoon with two talented musicians.”

The free Notre Dame concert will be held on Saturday 6th August at 2pm. Proof of double vaccination is required to gain entry.
Doors will open at 1:30pm. All are welcome.

Mitchell Conservatorium would like to pay cumulative respect for the passing of Archibald William Roach AM (8 January 1956 – 30 July 2022).
Archie was an Australian musician and Aboriginal activist. He was a singer, songwriter, and guitarist, and also a Gunditjmara and Bundjalung elder and campaigner for the rights of Indigenous Australians.
His musical voice inspired and gave power to many. His legacy will live on to inspire future generations.
