Now led by Cliff’s son Paul (Associate Principal Trumpet\, Sydney Symphony) Sydney Brass tours regularly for Musica Viva Australia.

There will be nibbles. It is an exhibition titled "Windows of Light" and is a collection of paintings which incorporate light in a variety of ways to enhance the paintings. The subject matter of these works is varied - from botanical to conceptual to surreal. If you want a quote: "Light has always played an important role in my works. In Genesis 1:3 it says 'God said\, "Let there be light"'. Light was the first thing god created. Without it nothing is visible. Light reveals all aspects of a motif to the viewer - its physical character\, as well as its mental and spiritual character. It makes all things beautiful because it reveals it for what it is." The exhibition will continue throughout March where all works will be for sale.

No cover charge - please phone for bookings phone 66561888 Summer Songs: Night Visions is an end of summer reverie with selected readings of poetry from three accomplished poet/storytellers. The theme taken from the season almost gone\, at a quarter past 2012\, offers pause for thought. Amid the clamour of everyday life and the busyness of the 21st Century\, creative practices fashion alternate readings of the day to day and the places people inhabit. They weave themselves into the fabric of the genius of place and memory. Open space for thought\, empathy\, compassion and the making of wisdom from the imagination and experience. Resonate with the hum of life beyond the ubiquity of technology and time-consuming demands. The work plays on the irony of apprehending the ethereal substance of moments passing\, to become something worth remembering\, something that stands in place as a reminder of the dignity of creative living.

Artists and advocates\, practitioners and producers\, arts administrators and policy-makers will connect\, debate and influence the vision of full social inclusion in all areas of the Arts nationwide. Theme The theme Desire and Destination invites everyone to consider and explore our past experience of inclusive practices in the arts and our future aspirations in the field of arts and disability\, to narrow the gap between dreams and reality. •How does art shape desire and make inclusive destinations possible? •How do arts venues\, producers and organisations with a desire to be accessible reach their destination? •How is technology changing art making from an unfulfillable desire into a realistic destination for people with disability? •What destination awaits artists who publicly disclose their disability and why do some desire not to? •There’s a growing desire for a stronger arts/disability culture in Australia\, what might that destination look like? •How does a person-centred approach fulfil art participation desires and develop destinations? Who should attend? • Artists with and without a disability • Arts workers • People with disability • Disability service providers • Policy makers • Funding bodies • Major cultural institutions and venues • Festival organisers and volunteers • Cultural development officers and gallery staff from local government • Anyone interested in arts and disability Background Hosted by Accessible Arts\, the Arts Activated National Conference is a biennial event that develops strong links between the arts and disability sectors. In 2010 Arts Activated included international keynote speakers and attracted 350 delegates from Australia and overseas. Presentations from a range of speakers\, including audio\, visual and written versions\, were documented on the Accessible Arts website\, centralising information on current arts and disability practice. Arts Activated continues to raise awareness of accessibility and inclusive practices\, facilitating greater linkages and enabling ongoing collaborations between the arts and disability sectors on a national level. “We found the conference valuable not only as a source of information about what is going on locally\, nationwide and internationally but also as a forum for discussion\, and as a stimulus to re-articulate our vision for the future of the arts within our organisation.” Sunshine Paper Studio\, Pymble NSW Arts Activated 2010 deligate Further information For more information contact Amanda Tink\, Conference Convenor\, Accessible Arts\, tel: +61 2 9251 6499 ext 106 or atink@aarts.net.au Webiste http://www.aarts.net.au/ LOCATION:The Concourse, 409 Victoria Avenue, Chatswood, NSW, Australia, 2000 URL:http://www.artsmidnorthcoast.org/event/arts-activated-national-conference-2012/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20111208T183000 DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20111208T200000 DTSTAMP:20120518T025649 CREATED:20111206T082939 LAST-MODIFIED:20111206T082939 UID:4334@http://www.artsmidnorthcoast.org SUMMARY:Coffs Orchestra concert at Narranga Public School DESCRIPTION:Coffs Orchestra is playing a concert this Thursday evening 8 December at Narranga Public School Hall.

He explores how important it is to express ourselves through writing\, to make it our life’s work without necessarily losing our ‘day job’\, and at first simply to connect with an audience who is interested in our story\, no matter how big that audience is. He offers essential tools and methods to bring these ideas to reality in words. Listen and Connect : It is said that the first rule of writing is to write\, however it is also as important to be able to listen. This session allows the new writer to take time out\, and learn to listen to many things\, including what is calling from within\, or needing to be recorded or expressed. Reflect & Record: The reflection is a powerful and accessible verbal and written method of discovery\, and a foundation of any writer’s repertoire. To ‘record’ is the act of not only capturing that reflection\, but the storage of an important memory on paper for the future. This session deals with the inspiration and the discipline required to reflect and record. Narrate & Express: From reflections come stories\, and because they are of our own life experience they connect with other people with similar stories. To narrate is to bring these stories to life in a verbal and a written form. The question starts to arise however\, how you want to express this story- as a true story of yourself\, or simply a story. Write & Tell: With all these wonderful listening\, reflection and narrative tools\, it is time to form these into a story which is compelling and clear. Here the structure of the written word is explored to allow writers to flesh out their narratives in little ‘bite size’ pieces\, that all fit together. Finally the ultimate duty of the writer is to tell a story\, and both the verbal and written aspects of this are explored\, together with the identification of your interested audience. www.jondrane.net LOCATION:Camden Head Pilot Station, Camden Head Road, Dunbogan, NSW, Australia, 2443 URL:http://www.artsmidnorthcoast.org/event/summer-writing-class/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20111115 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20120131 DTSTAMP:20120518T025649 CREATED:20111117T085306 LAST-MODIFIED:20111117T085306 UID:4096@http://www.artsmidnorthcoast.org SUMMARY:30cm x 30cm Exhibition DESCRIPTION:30cm x 30cm Exhibition 15 November 2011 – 30 January 2012 An opportunity for you to purchase your very own unique piece of Aboriginal Art from the Mid North Coast - nothing over $100 Dunghutti Ngaku Aboriginal Art Gallery Visitor Information Centre\, Pacific Highway Kempsey- Phone 65 62 1432 Hours: Tuesday – Sunday 10.00am – 4.00pm www.dnaag.com.au LOCATION:Dunghutti Ngaku Aboriginal Art Gallery, Visitors Information Centre Pacific Highway, Kempsey, NSW, Australia, 2440 URL:http://www.artsmidnorthcoast.org/event/30cm-x-30cm-exhibition/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20111202T190000 DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20111202T230000 DTSTAMP:20120518T025649 CREATED:20111116T104730 LAST-MODIFIED:20111116T104730 UID:4058@http://www.artsmidnorthcoast.org SUMMARY:Party on the Pier - Port Macquarie DESCRIPTION:Party on the Pier - Friday\, 2nd December 2011 @ Port Macquarie Panthers 7pm - 11pm Celebrating the extraordinary achievements that people with a disability have made throughout Port Macquarie-Hastings in 2011 Entertainment by The Pringles\, DJ Amarn The Awesome   LOCATION:Port Macuarie Panthers, 1 Bay Street, Port Macquarie, NSW, Australia, 2444 URL:http://www.artsmidnorthcoast.org/event/party-on-the-pier-port-macquarie/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20111124T173000 DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20111124T223000 DTSTAMP:20120518T025649 CREATED:20111116T100722 LAST-MODIFIED:20111116T101251 UID:4054@http://www.artsmidnorthcoast.org SUMMARY:Creative Industries Student Showcase 2011 - Port Macquarie DESCRIPTION:Creative Industries Student Showcase 2011 – Featuring; Film\, Fashion\, Graphic Design\, Interior Design and Multimedia Thursday 24th November GLASSHOUSE\, Port Macquarie Cnr Clarence & Hay Streets Event Program 5:30 pm Graphic Design & Interior Design - Ross Family Studio\, Ground floor FREE 6:45 pm Fashion Parade Level 2 Mezzanine Foyer FREE 7:30 pm Film Festival Doors Open to the Film Festival at 7.30 pm for a 7.45 pm start Main Auditorium\, access via doors 1 & 2\, Ground Floor TICKETS $5 (rated M15+) This Exhibition Event is open to the public\, there is no general admission fee.

Described as a “Master Drummer” and one of the world’s “Hottest Professional Drummers”\, Grant Collins has an intense\, almost spiritual passion for the drums. Thanks to Pearl\, Park Beach Music and HI Fi\, and Coffs Harbour Regional Conservatorium\, Grant is bringing his passion to Coffs Harbour for a one night only drum clinic. Grant has performed as a solo artist for thousands at sell-out venues both nationallly and internationally\, pushing the limits and confines of the drum world. Grant’s unique approach to drumming defies stereotypical drum set methodologies. His performance style is best summed up by internationally acclaimed drummer Dom Famularo who writes “It is not often I hear of someone who is on the cutting edge of modern drum set performance. When you hear Grant Collins\, be prepared for the ride he will take you on … .you will remember it for the rest of your life!” Grant has also carved out a name for himself as a teacher and has completed his PhD in Composition and Performance. “There is no doubt that Grant’s reputation as a performer is outstanding” says Conservatorium Director Carol Hellmers. “But we are also really interested in the inspiration that he will bring to student drummers\, the next generation of musicians in this field. This is why the clinic next week is so exciting and important”. Registration is essential! Phone 6652 1592. There is also a chance to win a door prize - a Pearl 10 x 5 Firecracker Wood Shell Snare Drum valued at $199. Book now!

Lauded for her unique voice\, poetic lyricism\, and tender-to-gutsy electric guitar playing\, this new album has been receiving extraordinary acclaim across the country\, described by many as her best work yet\, and sees Thorne further hone her spacious\, gritty\, “exquisite miniatures of distilled emotion” (The Canberra Times)\, with that signature warmth and intimacy for which her live shows have become so renowned.. Most of these songs were written whilst on the road\, over the past two years of almost constant touring (throughout Australia and Europe) since the release of her last album\, Black Across the Field. But the sound of Bonfires In Silver City has grown largely out of the musical empathy and camaraderie Thorne has developed during this period with legendary drummer Hamish Stuart. Produced by Thorne in close collaboration with Stuart\, most of the album was tracked live over three days in April 2011\, and shining at its centre is their remarkable duet sound. Expansive\, playful\, loose and real. Thorne’s last album\, Black Across The Field (2009) was awarded Best Roots Album of 2009 by The Sydney Morning Herald\, was short listed for the prestigious Australian Music Prize\, and earned her a place as one of Australia’s most distinctive contemporary songwriters\, and with Bonfires in Silver City she has clearly hit her stride. “Bonfires In Silver City reveals a subtlety and craft that eclipses Thorne’s prior work.” (Martin Jones\, Rhythms Magazine) “Thorne writes some of the most simple and beautiful songs you will hear” (The Age) “I’ve been listening to three great female artists in the last month; the first two\, Gillian Welch and Emmylou Harris require little introduction …the third is a name lesser known\, but her album Bonfires in Silver City is undoubtedly the best of all three. Lucie Thorne is one of our own\, and with this album she makes a firm statement that she is one of our finest. World-class” (Chris Peken\, Alternative Music Group) LOCATION:Oddfellows Hall, 22 Kemp Street, West Kempsey, NSW, Australia, 2440 URL:http://www.artsmidnorthcoast.org/event/lucie-thorne-bonfires-in-silver-city-album-launch/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20111019T190000 DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20111019T220000 DTSTAMP:20120518T025650 CREATED:20111012T084327 LAST-MODIFIED:20111012T084327 UID:3496@http://www.artsmidnorthcoast.org SUMMARY:Baby's Head Pudding DESCRIPTION:The show is a collection of performances developed over the year by Year 9 and Year 10 Drama students and promises to entertain Drama lovers of all ages.

In the 1800’s a Belgian composer labelled the violin ‘the king of instruments’. Perhaps this was because of the extraordinary versatility of the instrument. Back then the violin was a star in the orchestral and chamber music scene – these days it is even more of a star\, playing everything from classical to jazz\, folk\, country and rock. Plus the violin has always had an amazing emotional appeal. Just this one instrument can deliver a huge number and range of mood\, from the most tender through to intensely dramatic. On Sunday 9 October husband and wife duo Goetz Richter (violin) and Jeanell Carrigan (piano) will perform the final concert in the 2011 Sunday Soundscapes concert series at the Jetty Memorial Theatre. Their program\, Salut d’amour or Love’s Greeting\, features some of the best-loved works for solo violin. Perfect for a Sunday afternoon outing! Goetz and Jeanell are outstanding classical musicians. Goetz is Associate Professor of Violin at the Conservatorium of Music in Sydney and Jeanell is a member of the ensemble staff also at the Conservatorium. Goetz has performed widely in Australia and Europe and was Associate Concertmaster of the Sydney Symphony for many years.

With an enviable international reputation as one of Australia’s finest and most versatile music projects\, Synergy has performed at festivals throughout Europe\, Asia and the United States\, as well as most of Australia’s mainstage recital and performance venues. Core members – Timothy Constable\, Alison Pratt\, and Bree van Reyk – are all award-winning and internationally acclaimed exponents in their own right. Synergy is both subtle and a tour de force\, descriptive\, emotional\, melodic and rhythmically athletic. Unique musical architectures are sculpted from such elements as the whisper of crumpled cloth\, infectious beats\, the delicate beauty of a tiny bell\, or the engulfing sounds of large drums\, cymbals and gongs. Synergy is at home on world music stages\, contemporary/experimental art venues\, pop and rock concerts\, and opera and recital stages. Its expansive vision of percussion\, together with the exceptionally wide musical experience of the members\, has allowed the group to work together with a diverse and exemplary family of artists from around the world.

Negotiations are well underway with some exciting Bands and details will be publicised as the Bands are confirmed. This should start happening real soon.” Festival Organisers are gratified by the turn out to the last Fund Raiser at Gleniffer Hall in November. It wasn’t a capacity crowd by any stretch\, but highly respectable considering the weather. Audience and players alike loved the unique ambience of this historic building. Although growing up at Macksville\, Ian Date said this was the first time he’d been to the Hall. “Wow” was his comment\, amid other words. And it’s Gleniffer Hall again on Australia Day\, Thursday 26th January 2012\, with the popular Jazz on the Verandah. It’s the welcome return of The Satin Bowerbirds and the Blue Pegs. The music starts at 4:00pm. It’s on rain or shine\, the Hall being a better than viable option if there’s any wet stuff around. The usual picnic atmosphere prevails with sausage and rissole sandwiches\, soft drinks\, tea and coffee on sale. You are welcome to BYO other drinks and food if you wish. And don’t forget the glasses. Folding chairs etc are a good idea. Admission is $10.30 for pre-purchased tickets or $15 at the gate.
