You have probably enjoyed the music from one of these groups they have been out and about performing – maybe the recent Carols by Candlelight which East Gippsland Music was recently awarded Community Event of the Year for Bairnsdale.
The carols showcased all of groups together, putting on a great show for the
community.This is a great opportunity to head along and join in on some basic music pieces and meet fellow musicians’ who share the same passion.
All groups play at a variety of
different performances and locations around East Gippsland. They range from indoor concerts, markets, festivals and events such as The Bairnsdale Show, Opera by the Lakes, Australia Day and ANZAC Day.
