If there’s one thing regional Victoria has a lot of, it’s quaint historic churches. The Anglican Parish of Springmount makes good use of them too, hosting the Four Seasons Music Festival across the fair churches of Clunes, Creswick and Newlyn.
The festival gives locals and visitors a chance to experience professional choral performances in the region’s old churches. From February to November the festival holds classical concerts featuring all your favourite brass and woodwinds.
If you’re familiar with Tchaikovsky's The Seasons then you’ll be familiar with the concept. Musicians will play compositions inspired by the seasons of summer, autumn, winter and spring. Some of the big wigs featured in the concert series include Rosemary Hodgson, Greta Bradman, Robert McFarlane and Gillian McNaughton.
Tickets are $25 per person, and refreshments can be bought at an additional cost at every concert.
