" A fab concert... all delivered by the warm, welcoming and masterful hands of our expert local musicians."
Past Events
Highlands Music Collective made its debut at the Mittagong Playhouse in 2019 with a sixteen-piece ensemble featuring the region's most passionate string musicians and music by local composer Ann Carr-Boyd. Over the years, we have expanded our repertoire to include music for wind, brass, piano, saxophone and voice, enriching the chamber music scene in the Southern Highlands.
We have performed at the Bowral Autumn Music Festival (2022, 2023 and 2024), Bowral Memorial Hall, Rose Recital Room, Burrawang School of Arts, Penrose Hall, Bundanoon Memorial Hall, Chevalier College, Wollongong Art Gallery, Music Shoalhaven and Canberra Wesley Music Centre.
