Dear Arts-Lovers,
I invite you to spend the Queen’s Birthday long weekend in Woodend
(45 minutes from Carlton) and experience some of Australia’s finest
musicians performing in intimate settings, literary events by acclaimed
writers, high quality events for children, and exhibitions of silver,
pottery and art.This fourth Woodend Winter Arts
Festival boasts the only performance in
Australia of the opera Dafne, written by Gagliano in 1608. You will also
hear the superb jazz trumpet of James Morrison and Rod Quantock’s
narration of Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf. We also celebrate the
centenary of Messiaen’s birth.
Make the most of our accommodation packages and go
exploring! The Festival has been designed to be enjoyed in this
“lifestyle” region where award winning wineries and an array of
restaurants abound.
Dr Jacqueline Ogeil, Artistic Director
