Performance

 

Christ Church Beechworth hosts a regular concert series for its community and the revenue it generates helps to maintain its fine pipe organ and grand piano and support the fabric of our buildings. The University of Melbourne's Queens College Choir and Chamber Philharmonia Cologne, among other musicians, perform in 2023.

Diary dates

Josh Hooke

Josh Hooke has been described by the late Viennese virtuoso concert pianist and teacher Paul Badura-Skoda as 'one of the most gifted pianists of his generation'. Growing up in the Victorian seaside community of Wonthaggi, Josh said his love of being a concert pianist derived from being able to express 'just so much from one instrument'. This talented young performer is regularly heard at concerts in Australia, Europe and the United Kingdom.
