COFFS Harbour Music Society and ArtsNational Coffs Coast are joining forces to introduce their respective 2026 annual programs.
Everyone is invited to attend the joint program launch on Friday 6 February between 6.00pm and 7.00pm at St John Paul College Theatre.
There will be live music, visually engaging presentations, food, refreshments and fun.
Coffs Harbour Music Society will present its performance preview as a video featuring international performers and celebrities.
“Music lovers can expect a heady cultural mix in the Society’s 2026 program,” said Director Dr Leigh Summers.
Joe Chindamo will perform jazz standards with a twist this year, while pianist and ABC star Tamara-Anna Cislowska will present a concert featuring favourite composers.
Chamber music lovers will be delighted by several virtuosic ensembles this year.
They include the Endeavour Trio, the Nomad String Quartet, the Partridge String Quartet and Ensemble Trivium.
Opera fans have not been forgotten with a performance by the great bass -baritone singer Warwick Fyfe and pianist Glenn Amer.
There will also be two solo piano recitals on the Society’s “wonderful” Rx7 piano.
“So much beautiful music awaits us in 2026.”
ArtsNational Coffs Coast announces another year of eclectic arts talks, from the visual arts to Japanese gardens and contemporary cinematography.
“There’s something for everyone,” ArtsNational’s Chair, Annie Talve told NOTA.
“Dogs in art, men’s fashion, and revolutionary Paris in the late 19th century, are just a few stimulating arts talks topics. “We will also have some surprises to announce at our launch next Friday evening.”
Local musicians, Henrietta and Mercedes Hohenlohe are providing music on the night.
Amongst other pieces, an excerpt from Vivaldi’s Spring concerto will signal a major announcement about a new collaboration.
